At our latest Business Breakfast at the Hartnoll Hotel in Tiverton on 4th September 2024, HR Expert Heidi Riezzo (from MDN Member Synchrony HR Consulting) gave a presentation giving an HR Update for Businesses: "Labours New Deal for working people":

The Government intends to introduce an Employment Rights Bill within its first 100 days, which will bring forth new workers’ rights including entitlement to parental leave, sick pay and protection from unfair dismissal from day one of employment. 

Other changes expected include banning exploitative zero-hours contracts and strengthening regulation around ‘fire and rehire’ practices, the creation of a single enforcement body to ensure employers uphold workers’ rights, and reforms to the minimum wage including ensuring the rate accounts for the cost of living.
