Workplace Law – September 2023

Welcome to September’s Workplace Law. This month we have a video about termination payments and articles looking at how Labour’s plans to change employment law could impact employers, we examine the findings of an Employment Tribunal in two cases – one concerning share incentive plans and one involving dismissal by mutual consent. Finally, we explore what changes are coming in with regards to zero hours contracts.

If you have any questions about any of the topics raised in Workplace Law, please do get in touch.
