2012 promises to be a busy year for employment law and employers
should ensure that they are ready to respond.
Forthcoming changes include an extension to the qualifying period
for unfair dismissal from April and new employment tribunal
procedures for handling all types of claims. October sees the
commencement of the pensions auto-enrolment regime, which will
affect all employers and the pension provision they provide for
employees.
The government has also stated its intention to introduce changes
to many other areas of employment law, including the rules relating
to agency workers and dismissal procedures. Changes to TUPE and
collective consultation are also on the cards.
To help you consider what may be the key employment law topics for
your organisation in 2012 the employment team at CMS Cameron
McKenna has created an 'Employment Law Top Topics for 2012'
flyer which sets out what we see as the key challenges for
employers. You can access the flyer
here.
If you would like to discuss any of the topics mentioned, or other
issues that may be affecting your organisation please contact us or
another member of the employment team.
