Welcome to our Employment Case Law Review of 2021.
Last year saw a flurry of important and long-awaited employment law decisions in the Supreme Court. The lower courts also provided some very useful guidance on key areas of law and best practice for those managing staff.
In our Case Law Review for 2021, we bring together ten of the most interesting and important cases from the past 12 months. These include key legal developments on the National Minimum Wage and sleep-ins, worker status, collective bargaining, and belief-based discrimination.
If you missed our recent Employment Brunch Briefing discussing some of these key cases from 2021 and changes to key employment legislation, you can access the recording through the link below.
Looking forward to the Spring, I hope you can join me and our guest speaker Ibrahim Hasan of Act Now Training for our next virtual Employment Brunch Briefing on 1 February 2022, an informative data protection law update for employers. Please click on the link below to book your free place.
Wrigleys' employment team wish all our readers a very happy and healthy New Year!
