Employment Law Update: Understanding the Employment Rights Bill, Citation

2024 was a year of unprecedented employment law change: from holiday pay and entitlement to new types of leave and requirements around preventing workplace harassment, there’s been a lot to keep track of. The publication of the new Labour government’s Employment Rights Bill in October also set out further big, proposed changes to employment rights across Great Britain. This session, led by Director of Employment Law, Gill McAteer, will give you an overview of all the critical updates you need to know about, so you can stay informed and prepared. She’ll cover…

• A recap of the Employment Law changes from 2024 including the new Sexual Harassment law that came into force in October 2024
• An overview of the Employment Rights Bill and its significant proposals for employment law, including proposed changes to zero hours contracts and sick pay
• The steps you need to take to ensure your organisation is compliant
