In 2024, we’re set to reach double figures in the number of new laws coming in. Which means a lot of upcoming changes affecting you.
As a business owner, you already have so much to deal with. And on top of the day-to-day stress you already have, you don’t need the added worry of missing an important update.
When the world of employment law is an ever-changing minefield, it’s not only easy to lose track of what’s happening – but practically impossible to stay on top of every legal change without support.
In 2024, the government will bring in changes around…
- – there’ll be new statutory leave entitlements for staff you’ll have to navigate.
- – there’ll be new rules for making and handling flexible working requests. Certain workers will also have the right to ask for more stable working patterns.
- protections – pregnant employees will be given the same special rights and protection in a redundancy as employees on maternity leave.
- – national minimum wage rates will increase in April, and employees of a certain age group will now need to be paid more than ever before.
- Holiday calculations – rolled-up will become legal for irregular hour staff.
- Pensions – there’ll be new age criteria for auto-enrolling employees into pension schemes.
…And more.
