Webinar about the new Employment Rights Bill
The Bill is expected to go through several rounds of consultation and negotiations with unions and business groups. But the big topics up for discussion will likely focus on the themes of:
• Statutory sick pay (SSP): Changes to the duration of an illness before SSP can be claimed.
• Lower earnings limit for SSP: The £123 limit of SSP is set to change, with a new lower limit introduced.
• Paternity leave: Changes to the 26 week period of employment before Fathers are eligible for Paternity leave.
• Unpaid parental leave: Eligibility to begin from day one.
• Unpaid bereavement leave: Also set to become a ‘day one’ right.
• Flexible working: Bosses will have to assess flexible working requests from day one of employment with greater restrictions on employers declining the requests.
Are you ready for the upcoming changes? How will you and your organisation adapt?
