The Labour government have announced 28 new changes to employment law. These changes will impact every business in the UK. Navigating these changes can be difficult, and getting it wrong will be costly and damaging.
Some of the changes include:
Day one rights – The current “2 year rule” will be changed to day 1. This will fundamentally change the way you manage your staff.
Zero Hour contracts will be banned – Regular hours will need to be offered to employees.
Working flexibility for all – Requesting a four day week or changes to working hours will be a day one right for employees.
Enhanced rights to sick pay – Your employees will need to be paid more when they are off sick,
What does this mean for you as an employer and your business?
In light of these changes, it is crucial your company’s documentation, contracts, and policies are updated and it is vital that you prepare for these changes in advance. You must also ensure that these changes are communicated to your employees through training, meetings, or written format.
