This timetable of employment law changes in the UK is provided for CIPD members. The page captures important legislative change for people professionals. Change can include open consultations, technical guidance, new laws and landmark cases.
The UK Government is undergoing an extensive period of change in the field of employment. This change falls under the plan to Make Work Pay. From this plan, the Employment Rights Bill is the primary bill to deliver these proposals. There are also additional bills, amendments to codes of practice and consultations.
The roadmap for the Employment Rights Bill has been issued. The roadmap lists the target dates for implementation of measures such as the removal of the Statutory Sick Pay waiting period and the new day-one right to unfair dismissal protection. These dates and proposals are being monitored in a complimentary tracker. The tracker shares advice for people professionals on ways to prepare. When legislation is laid on these matters, these draft laws will move into this timetable.
