HR Forum: Labour Changes
The new Labour government introduced the Employment Rights Bill on 10 October which has been anticipated since the election and their Plan to Make Work Pay. The Bill represents the biggest proposed changes to employee rights in a generation.
The changes are intended to give security to employees, but the risk is that with increased rights will come increased claims and workplace disputes. HR leaders and business owners need to be prepared.
Richard Gvero and Miranda Mulligan from the Longmores Employment team will explain what the changes mean for your business including:
- Unfair dismissal rights from day one
- Basic rights from day one including sick pay, parental, paternity and bereavement leave
- Banning exploitative zero hours contracts
- Making flexible working the default from day one
- Removing the threat of “fire and rehire”
- Increased harassment obligations
- Establishing a Fair Work Agency
A Q&A session will follow the presentation when delegates can ask their questions.
This event will be useful for HR directors, managers and business owners who are responsible for employing staff. You will leave you with a checklist of actions for your business.
