Talking Employment Law: The Employment Rights Bill – Part 2

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 2 of the Employment Rights Bill podcast in the ‘Talking Employment Law’ series, members of the employment team at Clarkslegal, will discuss some of the main provisions of the Bill, including:

  • Changes to collective redundancies
  • Flexible working
  • Sick pay

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.
