Public Sector Insights: What is next for employment law? – PAST EVENT

We hosted an Employment Law Update webinar as part of our Public Sector Insights Forum. The webinar took place on Tuesday 20 May 2025 from 10am to 11:15 am.

The reform of employment law is a priority for the Government and since its publication on 10 October 2024, the Employment Rights Bill has hardly been out of the headlines.

In the webinar, Senior Practice Support lawyer Debra Gers and Solicitor Ben Wilson:

• Discussed the high-profile changes to unfair dismissal rights
• Considered the proposals against the abuse of “fire and rehire”
• Discussed the reform of statutory sick pay
• Considered the proposals regarding zero-hour contracts
• Highlighted other measures contained in the Bill

Debra and Ben also provided an overview of recent developments and the implications for your organisations. These included:

• The current consultation on mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting and the particular implications for public bodies
• The introduction of neonatal care leave and pay
• The implications of recent case law developments
• A look ahead to what we can expect for the remainder of 2025
