The highly anticipated Employment Rights Bill was published on 10th October 2024. The proposed changes mark a significant shift in employment legislation. In this webinar, Paul will set out the following proposals and discuss the impact they could have on the recruitment sector.

Topics discussed:

Zero hours contracts
Unfair dismissal and other Day 1 rights
Ending fire and re-hire
Extending SSP and maternity rights
Flexible working
Sexual Harassment
Time permitting, we will also briefly discuss the following proposed changes:
- Gender Pay Gap/Menopause
- Collective Redundancy Consultation and Trade Union reform
- Written Statements of Particulars of Employment

You’ll get a chance to ask questions and learn about our plans for a series of in depth training sessions on the various provisions in the Bill.

This agenda is not exhaustive and a full synopsis of the session will be available once registered.
