HR Compliance Kit | June – July 2026
We share everything you need to keep on top of current legislation and upcoming changes to employment law.
In this edition, we look at the Government consultations on zero-hours contracts and paid carer’s leave, both of which could create new obligations for employers in the coming years.
We also cover menopause support and equality action plans, where the headlines haven’t always reflected what the law actually says.
Elsewhere, we consider the growing concern around youth unemployment, NEETs and AI, and what this could mean for entry-level roles and future skills pipelines.
