Talking Employment Law: The Employment Rights Bill – Part 1

In October 2024, the Government unveiled its Employment Rights Bill which is currently making its way through Parliament to become law. This Bill introduces major reforms to workers’ rights.

In part 1 of the Employment Rights Bill podcast in the ‘Talking Employment Law’ series, Louise Keenan and Lucy White, members of the employment team at Clarkslegal, will discuss some of the main provisions of the Bill, including:

• Unfair dismissal
• Family rights
  • Bereavement leave
  • Unpaid parental leave
  • Paternity leave
  • Extension of protection for pregnant women and new mothers

Please contact our employment team if your business needs help with any of these proposed changes. It’s important to seek advice and plan for the changes now to be ready when they come into force.
