A brand new government is now in place, so what’s on the horizon for employers? At our annual employment and immigration law updates this autumn, we will examine the sweeping changes we are likely to see in the next few months and beyond.

We will also take a look back at the key developments over the past 12 months, including new statutory entitlements and some important case law developments for HR practitioners to note.

Our employment and immigration law experts will deliver an essential update on the following* topics:

• The latest government proposals for employment law reforms.
• New entitlements to carer’s leave, and important changes to flexible working arrangements.
• Changes to statutory paternity leave entitlement, including in the event of maternal bereavement, and new rights to neonatal care leave.
• Changes to Working Time rules, including changes to holiday and pay entitlements.
• How to approach making changes to staff terms and conditions of employment following the recent introduction of new consultation duties before ‘firing and rehiring’ staff.
• Increases to redundancy protection applying before and after maternity and other types of family leave.
• Important changes to the rules on tips and gratuities in the hospitality sector.
• Key recent decisions on protected beliefs, disability discrimination and reasonable adjustments, whistleblowing and unfair dismissals
• An update on the recruitment and retention of international workers, including a look at post-election immigration/skills policy for 2024/2025 (and beyond), and immigration rule changes applicable to employers of migrant workers

*Final contents subject to change depending on the very latest developments.
