Major changes to UK employment law are set to be announced by the new government. Here, Carolyne Wahlen from Golf HR outlines what to expect.
We now have a new government in power and parliament is back after the summer holidays. During the campaign, changes to employment law were highlighted by the new government as a key priority. These proposed changes aim to address issues such as workers’ rights, job security and fair pay, and they are expected to have profound effects on both employees and employers across the nation.
The changes should be announced in the first 100 days, by the end of October, but it is highly unlikely, although not impossible, that they will come into effect in that time.
Let’s start with the changes that are confirmed
‘Fire and rehire’ is now subject to a 25 percent uplift if the court finds you guilty of this practice. This came into effect on July 18, 2024. This is unlikely to affect golf clubs directly.
The Strikes Act 2023 will be repealed, with the formal wording included in the Employment Rights Bill which will be announced in October this year. Again, unlikely to directly affect golf clubs.
