Welcome to 2025, the Year of the Snake (not good for ophidiophobes) and to our first employment newsletter of the year!  

As usual, we’ve plenty to tell you about;

• A list of amendments to the Employment Rights Bill plus changes to the Fire and Rehire Code of Practice and an overview of the Neonatal Care Act (in force from April).
• Recent Employment cases concerning redundancy consultation, maternity protection, protected conversations and more.
• Cases to watch during 2025 and their implications.

Between the Employment Rights Bill and the new Worker Protection legislation (in force last October), we have lots to do to help clients prepare.  We are currently reviewing and updating our Equality Training course to reflect the new proactive duty on employers (and accompanying EHRC technical guidance).  If you are considering rolling out updated Equality Training in 2025, do keep us in mind!

We hope the year ahead is a good one for you, and (in the best quote about resolutions we know), ‘may your troubles last as long as your New Year’s Resolutions’.

Best wishes from the Menzies Law team
