The Future of Work

Insights into the new Employment Rights Bill

17 October, 09:00 – 10:00

On 10 October, the government laid the draft Employment Rights Bill 2024 (Bill) before Parliament, fulfilling Labour's manifesto commitment to introduce the workers' rights law within 100 days of taking power.

The Bill is promoted as “the most extensive overhaul of workers’ rights in generations” and whilst many of the measures do not go as far as the headlines suggest, a few have the potential to transform the employment law landscape and oblige employers to adopt new practices and procedures. Under the Bill, individuals will get more workplace rights and greater security at work, but those rights will cost employers more and restrict flexibility.

The Bill contains 28 new measures which employers will need to get to grips with, including the removal of the 2 year qualifying period for unfair dismissal.

Join us for a webinar on Thursday, 17 October 2024 to explore what lies ahead in the field of employment law.
