Starting with the UK, 2024 saw a change of Government in the UK for the first time since 2010. The new Labour Government had pledged it would "deliver the biggest upgrade to rights at work for a generation". As promised, the Employment Rights Bill heralds major changes to employment laws including in relation to unfair dismissal, zero hours workers, fire and rehire, and collective redundancy consultation, with further changes to come.
We have produced a summary of the Bill and what it means for employers . Although most of the changes will not take effect until 2026, there are various steps employers should take to prepare during 2025 (see Coming up in 2025 below)
