As of 10 October 2024, the government’s Employment Rights Bill has just passed through its first reading in the House of Commons. The second reading is due to take place later this month on 21 October. So, what did the reading reveal about the upcoming bill and what will this mean for employers?
Steph Marsh, Head of Coodes’ Employment team, explores.
The government’s Bill plans to give employees basic rights from their first day on the job. The Bill includes:
Further consultations are also going to be had on the right to switch off from work outside of the working day as well as around simplifying the worker status framework.
This Bill is still in its early stages therefore these changes could be adapted before the law is passed. It still needs to pass through the House of Commons and the House of Lords before gaining Royal Assent.
In the meantime, employers should be looking at how they can prepare for some of these changes coming forward. Coodes’ Employment team are keeping up to date with these changes as they come in so we can give our clients the most reliable, relevant information.
