What's happening in employment law

The government has finally responded to the consultation on flexible working and has proposed being able to request this from day one, along with a number of other changes.

Various Private Members’ Bills backed by the government are also progressing – including those on leave for carers, neonatal leave and pay, extended redundancy protection during pregnancy and maternity, and a new duty to prevent sexual harassment. Recent cases include decisions on redundancy consultations and on the ability of employers to settle future claims. Join us for an update on all these developments together with any other up-to-the-minute news.
