The UK General Election on 4 July 2024 resulted in the first Labour Government in 14 years. This in turn heralds the biggest reform of employment law for a generation. Labour’s proposals in their ‘Plan to Make Work Pay’ promise wide-ranging changes, including introducing day 1 employment rights, expanding pay gap reporting, repealing the last government’s anti-strike laws, and introducing rights for employees to disconnect and to work flexibly. These are fundamental changes which will require businesses to rethink many aspects of their employment practices.
In this podcast, Philippa O’Malley and Clare Fletcher from our Employment team discuss Labour’s proposals, and what steps employers can take to prepare for them.
