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 handy guide.

This month, we break down the key government proposals, including the Employment Rights Bill that introduces 28 new reforms, such as the removal of zero-hour contracts and strengthened rights for paternity, parental, and bereavement leave. Read this here.

We also cover the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act, which introduces a new legal duty for employers to prevent workplace harassment. This could mean significant changes to how businesses manage and mitigate workplace risks.

Finally, for this month's case law we review a recent tribunal ruling on direct sex discrimination and harassment, providing key takeaways for employers navigating similar situations under the upcoming preventative duty legislation.

We hope you find this guide useful.
