Big changes are on the horizon for UK employment law. The new Employment Rights Bill poses a major shift in how unfair dismissal rights are applied. Here’s what you need to know:
The Employment Rights Bill is shaping up to be one of the most significant reforms in decades. A key change is within clause 26, which in its original form, would ban employers from dismissing staff who refuse to accept variations to their employment contracts. But recent proposed amendments suggest a more flexible approach may be on the horizon.
A new clause in the Employment Rights Bill has been proposed, which could mark a major shift in how employers manage allegations of harassment and discrimination.
