Motor Industry Employment Law Bulletin

2024 is already looking like a busy year for HR professionals and employment lawyers.  In previous updates we have foreshadowed various changes that are coming into force this year.  In this update we remind you of some of the changes coming in April 2024 and updates to the National Minimum Wage. We then turn briefly […]

With Christmas fast approaching in this update we are going to take a quick look at the changes to holiday pay and TUPE which are coming into force from 1st January 2024.  We then look at recent case law developments; heat of the moment resignations, redundancy consultation and bonus clawback provisions, before ending with a […]

With the Parliamentary recess over the Summer, statutory developments over the last few months have been quiet.  We therefore look in this Autumn update at four recent case law decisions of interest to Motor Industry employers:

Whilst we all await the good weather to return, in our Summer update we are looking at important news and decisions over the last few months.  Firstly, we look at the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Act which has just passed through Parliament and will become law.

Those of you following updates over the course of the last few years will be aware that the Employment Bill had substantial changes to employment law, but then did not form part […]

In the last two quarterly updates, we have been speculating on whether or not the array of proposed Employment Law Legislation, which was contained in the Employment Bill, would progress into Law.  The Queen’s speech has, for now at least, answered a firm ‘no’ to that question. Readers of these bulletins will remember that the […]

In the last update we looked at potential changes this year and speculated how “events” can sometimes throw a Government off its legislative agenda.  How right we were.  It remains to be seen now whether all of the proposed developments in 2022 will take place, or whether the Ukraine crisis might provide a delay to […]

As we begin 2022, we thought (as well as digressing to look at a recent case on employment status) that we would look forward to employment law changes that are anticipated in 2022.  As readers of this bulletin will be aware, Covid-19 has led to a relative freeze in legislative development as the Government’s time […]
