“Last year saw the introduction of the Employment Rights Bill, which will bring significant changes to employment laws. This year will see consultations and developments in respect of the Bill, but we still do not expect the bigger changes to happen until Autumn 2026. However, there are still a plethora of topics on the horizon for the year ahead. In this edition, we cover employment status, use of generative AI, business protection, payment of wages when an employee is charged with a criminal offence, ‘fire and re-hire’ developments, and more.”
