Key workplace law changes:

  • From April 2020, employees who lose a child under the age of 18 will have the right to two weeks' leave with bereavement pay.

  • The Government has introduced various laws aimed at supporting non standard workers and workers generally. From April 2020, all workers will have the right to a written statement of employment particulars from the first day they start work. The scope of work particulars which must be provided is being increased so there is more information on hours of work and rights to paid leave, plus new information on any probationary period, training entitlements and any benefits available.

  • From April 2020, employees with non standard working hours will have their holiday pay calculated by averaging what they earned in the 52 weeks before the holiday, instead of the 12 weeks

  • The Government has published guidance for employers on addressing gender pay gaps: 'Eight ways to understand your gender pay gap' and 'Four steps to developing a gender pay gap action plan'.

  • The Government has published 'Protecting and Enhancing Worker Rights after the UK Withdrawal from the European Union' to put into effect its commitment "not to reduce the standards of workers' rights from EU law retained in UK law'.

  • The European court has decided that employers must keep records of hours worked by their workers in order to meet their obligations under the Working Time Directive.
