The new government’s employment law promises include the following updates.
- Giving employees the right to claim unfair dismissal from day one of their employment instead of needing two years service
- Removing the National Wage age branding
- Making Statutory Sick Pay available to all workers
- Zero hours contracts : ban “one sided” flexibility
- Introducing a new duty on employers to inform all new employees of their right to join a union, which will need to be part of the written contract
What will this mean for my business …
Day one rights will mean that various key processes in the business will need to be spot on and follow best practice procedures!
Your induction process, how the probationary period is managed, how performance is managed all need to be reviewed to ensure that they reduce risk and enable you to show a robust process is followed.
If you want to have your current processes audited, or to join our training day “Essential Legislation for People Managers” on Thursday 31st October 2024, please get in touch.
