A quick introduction

What's in this edition?

We share everything you need to stay on top of current legislation and upcoming changes to employment law in this election special edition.

With the new government in place, big changes could be on the horizon, especially with Labour's ambitious proposals. In this edition, we break down what these proposed reforms might mean for your business and how they could reshape the workplace as we know it. You can read that here.

We also cover the new tips law and Code of Practice coming into effect in October 2024, making sure you’re prepared for the changes in the hospitality sector.

In this month’s case law study, we examine a recent tribunal ruling on the dismissal of an employee charged with a serious crime, offering insights on how to handle similar situations without falling foul of employment law.

We hope you find this guide useful.
