Employment Law News and Review
Spring/Summer 2008

A plain English, practical look at Employment Law as it affects UK Businesses, written by legal experts with an HR background.

This Review is produced and communicated twice a year, timed to reflect the Government's aim to introduce employment legislation on regular dates (currently each April and October)

Employment Law can be a heavy topic, but we approach it with a light touch, at least we try to!

This review has four sections:

 

Section One - Employment Legislation (Timetable for the Next Twelve Months)

 

This section looks at the most recent legislation that has been introduced. There is so much, it can be easy to miss something when you are immersed in other projects. We will also look ahead at what is on the horizon, but we will not speculate about the details, as we prefer to wait until the facts are clearer.

 

Section Two - The Law in More Detail

 

This section takes a more detailed look at a small number of important legal issues which could be affecting your business now - perhaps a new piece of legislation, changes to existing legislation, even a significant court decision.

 

Section Three - Case Law Update - Significant decisions from the Courts

 

This section will take a look at recent decisions from the Tribunals and Courts. Again, the focus will be on cases that have a direct relevance to Businesses and Organisations, not those that tend to get Lawyers excited! Importantly we also spell out the implications for you, the Employer, in simple terms.

 

Section Four - On the Lighter side..........?

 

A look at some of the funnier, unusual or bizarre items of news on the employment front!
