It looks like 2023 could see some significant changes in Employment Law.
Areas where we expect to see developments include:
- Changes to the law around requests for flexible working
- New rights to types of leave, including
– a right to carer’s leave for employees who have a dependant with a long term care need
– a right to neonatal leave for parents whose babies spend time in neonatal care units
- Changes to the law on third party harassment (for example the treatment of your staff by visitors)
- Changes to the national living wage, statutory sick pay and redundancy payments
- New laws on “conversion therapy”
- Additional redundancy protections for those on maternity and similar leave
- Potential changes to the application of laws that emanated from the EU (such as working time and TUPE) as a result of Post Brexit Reform
- Changes to the law on calculating holiday for some part-time employees and workers
