As we approach the close of another eventful year, the world of employment law continues to evolve at pace.
The Employment Rights Bill has seen significant updates since its introduction, with 53 pages of amendments refining its scope and introducing new obligations.
The £240 million investment outlined in the Get Britain Working White Paper marks the most significant reform in 50 years. This ambitious plan aims to remove barriers to employment, particularly for young people and those facing long-term health challenges, with the goal of achieving an 80% employment rate.
Finally, we review a landmark whistleblowing case, where a bar manager was awarded £33,000 for unfair dismissal. This case reinforces the importance of clear policies and employer accountability, especially as workplace social events blur the lines between work and leisure.
We hope you find this guide useful.
