Employment Breakfast Briefing

Join us for our first Employment Breakfast Briefing of 2020 where we will highlight a number of issues which could affect businesses over the next 12 months.

The year will bring a new set of challenges for all businesses, as the government prepares to introduce a new employment bill in parliament.

Businesses may have to prepare for dealing with issues such as default flexible working arrangements, requests for ‘predictable’ contracts of employment; as well as ensuring they are familiar with new statutory rights for employees in relation to maternity leave, neonatal care leave, rights for unpaid carers and parental bereavement leave.

Some changes will come into force on 6 April 2020 to reflect the implementation of the good work plan.

We continue to grapple with the important issue of employment status and, from April 2020, businesses need to be prepared for the introduction of changes to the IR35 rules for off pay-roll working in the private sector.

With a number of key employment cases reaching the Supreme Court in 2020, we will also keep an eye on developments and consider changes that might flow as a result of Brexit.
