Keeping you in the know

Changing social and political mindsets means employment law never stands still.

Changing social and political mindsets means employment law never stands still. In the next year, the UK will have important updates that will affect your business, mostly driven by the Employment Rights Bill. These changes will impact hiring, contracts, employee rights, and worker conditions. As an employer, staying ahead of these changes is key to protecting your business and supporting your workforce.

No jargon, no fluff, no guesswork – just the information you need to stay compliant, support your workforce and have confidence in your decisions.

What's changing?

Over the next 18 months, the employment law reforms are likely to impact the following areas for your business:

Worker Rights and Protections

Employers will need to stay on top of updates to minimum wage regulations, redundancy rights and unfair dismissal protections.

Flexibility and Remote Working

With growing demand for flexibility, it is expected that new regulations will impact employees' rights to request remote or hybrid working arrangements from day one.

Holiday Pay and Working Hours

Recent legal shifts are likely to impact how holiday entitlement and pay are calculated, particularly for workers with variable hours.

Equality and Discrimination

Updates in equality legislation is likely to introduce stricter requirements for diversity, inclusion and workplace fairness. In addition, legislation being introduced in April 2025 will create changes in parental leave.
