In our latest employment law podcast, managing associate Natalie Edwards and associates Dermot Neligan and Eirini Haidemenos discuss the Government's new Employment Rights Bill published on 10 October 2024, which has been described as a 'once in a generation' overhaul of employee rights. The Stephenson Harwood team discuss what employers need to be aware of, including changes to protections against unfair dismissal, entitlement to statutory sick pay, and rights for new parents.Many of the Government's proposals require further consultation, and several of the more major changes will take effect "no sooner than Autumn 2026". We recommend that clients listen to the podcast and review their policies and procedures considering the proposed changes. Please also keep an eye out for further advice that the Stephenson Harwood team will publish once we have clarity on the new legislation.

In this episode of the IEA Podcast, we dive into the Adam Smith Institute's new "millionaire tracker" report, which suggests Britain is losing millionaires at an alarming rate. Maxwell Marlow, director of Research and Education at ASI, discusses the potential economic impact and reasons behind this trend, including productivity stagnation, high tax burdens, and an anti-prosperity culture. The conversation explores the broader implications for job creation, investment, and tax revenue. The podcast then turns to the government's newly announced Employment Rights legislation. The panel, including Dr. Kristian Niemietz and host Tom Clougherty, examines the potential consequences of these reforms on productivity, hiring practices, and overall economic dynamism. They express concern that these measures, while politically popular, may inadvertently hinder job creation and economic growth. Lastly, the discussion commemorates the 50th anniversary of F.A.Hayek being awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics. The panel reflects on Hayek's enduring influence on classical liberal thought, his key works such as "The Use of Knowledge in Society," and the importance of his ideas in shaping economic and political discourse. They emphasise the continued relevance of Hayek's insights in today's policy debates. We bring you a public affairs podcast with a difference. We want to get beyond the headlines and instead focus on the big ideas and foundational principles that matter to classical liberals. This is a public episode.

11/10/24 - Employment rights, beavers, Welsh slurry spreading rules

Farming Today

The government has published its Employment Rights Bill - so what will it mean for farmers and the staff who work for them? Its key proposals include protection against unfair dismissal from day one, flexible working, improved rights for sick pay, bereavement and parental leave, and a move to regulate zero hours contracts. Most of the planned changes won't take effect until 2026 and there'll be a period of consultation between now and then. Conservationists have long argued that the reintroduction of beavers can help reduce the risk of flooding - the dams they build slow the flow of water in rivers, holding it back from built-up areas further downstream. Well, beavers have been living wild on the River Otter in East Devon for at least 16 years, but last year, there was significant flooding in the area.And some Welsh farmers have claimed they are having to choose between the risk of polluting rivers or breaking the law, ahead of a controversial muck-spreading ban. New rules forbid slurry spreading across Wales from mid October to January, in an effort to protect water quality. NFU Cymru says there is "enormous concern" after wet conditions have hampered efforts to empty slurry stores ahead of the deadline. But the organisation representing Welsh rivers' trusts say farmers have had years to prepare for the changes. Presented by Caz Graham Produced by Heather Simons

In recent weeks we have been advising several directors (who also happen to be shareholders) of companies where there has been some sort of fall out with fellow directors (and shareholders) leading to that person being dismissed from their role as director and in turn their employment. In this episode 229 of the podcast I bring you a run down of the employment rights that apply to directors who are employees of the business. I also cover my tips on avoiding disputes and how to resolve them quickly in the event of a dispute arising. In this episode of the podcast we cover: When a director is also an employee. The rights of directors who are also employees. Why you need to have an employment contract and clear terms in place at the outset. The importance of company documentation. Why you need to have targets and goals for directors that are measurable. Why you should caution against dismissing a director from their employment merely because they are no longer able to be a director.     Training for your Team Would you like to arrange training for your team to reduce the risk of both unhappy employees and claims being made against you?

Sex workers say they have been exploited by strip clubs due to a "grey area" around their employment rights. Clubs are taking thousand-dollar bonds and fining dancers up to $200 for taking sick leave or turning up late. Engaged by strip clubs as contractors rather than employees, the performers say they are missing out on the protection of the law. But are they? Our reporter Rayssa Almeida went to find out.

What happened to him, and his subsequent case at the Fair Work Commission was supposed to set a powerful precedent for people who work across the whole gig economy – and give workers in these industries the same rights as employees. But instead, his case faltered - and the reason was a High Court decision that he wasn't a party to.

ACAS gives employees and employers free impartial advice and mediation on workplace disputes, employment rights, and best practices. ACAS must be used before approaching an employment tribunal. The view is that an employment tribunal must be used as the last resort and therefore ACAS provides a service of mediation to find a compromise in a workplace disputes. In the event that a compromise cannot be found and a Claimant has exhausted a grievance process and therefore not found a resolution through ACAS, a Claimant can take an employment matter to an Employment Tribunal.In this episode I will be discussing my friend's case which we took to ACAS I managed to negotiate an out-of-court settlement for her of nearly £50k and renegotiated the terms of that settlement which included:Payment within 7 daysA tax-Free settlement with all tax liability to be fully paid by her employer to HMRCPayment of 10 therapy sessionsAgreed wording for an employment reference Letter of retraction and an apology in writing for a false accusation made during the course of her employment.Payment in lieu of notice to enable her to leave this employment on full pay for 3 months.We will be using her employment dispute as a case study for this episode.https://www.acas.org.uk/*This episode also includes x2 dilemmas Email me:  hello@toyatalks.com   Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast)   Snapchat: @toyawashington  Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks  YouTube: At Home With Toya https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbXlRNLSYLuA9GbPB8cUYvQ  www.toyatalks.com https://toyatalks.com/

There are so many big employment and workplace stories at the moment.  From chaos at UK airports due to staff shortages and the raging work from home debate to planned strikes on the rail network and of course the fallout from 'partygate' at 10 Downing St! Added to that this week's narrowly  won vote of no confidence in the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson all adds to a sense of upheaval and uncertainty - hardly a welcome backdrop for any organisation.The political uncertainty is a timely prompt to start looking at what the world of work would be like under a Labour administration.  Justin Madders MP is Labour's Shadow Minister for Employment Rights and Protections. Justin is a former solicitor who specialised in employment law before being elected as the member of parliament for Ellesmere Port and Neston in 2015.  I start by asking the Shadow Minister his view on the impending National Rail strike.Who's to blame for the chaos at UK airports? [02:30]Justin Madders believes it's very convenient for the UK government to blame airlines and other travel providers for the chaos at UK airports. He believes government support was lifted far too quickly before the sector was back on its feet.Is Boris Johnson's unpopularity a gift to Labour? [04:10]Justin Madders accepts that whilst Boris Johnson's unpopularity is a gift for any opposition party, the national interest will be affected by paralysis and in-fighting amongst Conservative members of parliament, therefore the sooner the Prime Minister is removed the better.What will the Downing St culture be like under Sir Keir Starmer? [05:39]'Partygate' has highlighted the dysfunctional culture at the heart of government.  I ask Justin Madders what sort of workplace culture Sir Keir Starmer would instigate if he were the Prime Minister?What are the key elements of Labour's Future of Work plan? [06:39]Justin Madders explains the key pillars than underpin Labour's future of work plan.  The plan is designed end the precarious nature of employment that many workers face and provide well-paid jobs and a level-playing field for all employers.What's happened to Lord Hendy's Status of Workers bill? [08:35]Justin Madders explains why he isn't confident that the Government will support Lord Hendy's bill.Do we need more collective bargaining in the UK? [11.57]Yes is the simple answer and in Labour's plan there is a desire to move towards more sectorial collective bargaining / fair pay agreements.What's happening with the P&O dismissals? [15:40]Justin Madders is keen that the Government maintains pressure on P&O in light of their sacking of hundreds of workers without consultation and notice.The working from home debate [20:13]I ask Justin Madders for his view on the working from home debate.  Is WFH just a blip?Resourceshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/https://ovenreadyhr.comhttps://labour.org.uk/people/shadow-cabinet/https://www.justinmadders.com
