Seminar – The Employment Rights Bill – what every HR professional needs to know.
Wednesday 6th November, 9.00am – 11.00am
The Guildford Pavilion, Guildford
Speaker: Mike Cole, Partner, Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP
As all HR professionals know, the Government is on the brink of unveiling significant changes to employment law through the new Employment Rights Bill.
Labour has promised to introduce draft legislation within 100 days of coming into power and in anticipation of the bill being published in October, we are holding this seminar for all members of The Surrey & Sussex HR Forum.
Introducing updates to existing laws and entirely new legislation, this landmark bill will have far-reaching implications for HR professionals.
As the bill makes its way through parliament, with debates in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, it’s crucial for our members to stay informed and prepared for the potential changes that lie ahead.
Some of the changes we anticipate seeing are:
- Day One Rights – Unfair Dismissal Protection, Parental Leave and Sick Pay
- Ending ‘Fire and Rehire’ Practices
- Banning Exploitative Zero-Hour Contracts
- Enhancements to flexible working
- Increasing time limits in which employees can make certain claims in the Employment Tribunal
- Enhance maternity rights
- Reform of employment status
- Amending the current collective redundancy consultation threshold
- Significant reform of Trade Union laws and rights for Unions to be recognised
Why attend?
Stay ahead of legislative changes: Learn about the key updates and new laws that will impact your role and responsibilities.
Expert insights: Mike Cole, our employment law specialist, will provide a comprehensive overview of the bill and what to expect and when.
Be prepared: Gain the knowledge you need to effectively manage these changes and ensure your company is compliant with the new regulations.
