Advising Employers on the Employment Rights Bill
The Employment Rights Bill if enacted will be one of the most significant overhauls of employment legislation in recent years, introducing wide-ranging reforms that will impact how employers recruit, manage, and support their workforce.
From introducing day one unfair dismissal rights for employees and abolishing fire and rehire practices, to enhanced rights and protections in redundancy and family leave as well as preventative duties with respect to all types of harassment, the Bill will reshape many core aspects of the employment relationship. These reforms are expected to introduce new compliance obligations, greater employee protections, and an increased risk of legal exposure if not properly managed.
It is crucial employers seek timely specialist advice to fully understand the implications of the Bill and prepare accordingly. Our specialist employment law team can help you audit current practices, update contracts and policies, and deliver tailored training to ensure your business remains compliant and well-positioned in the face of these significant legal changes.
Being proactive now will help minimise disruption later, and ensure your business is ahead of the curve when the new legislation takes effect.
