In the ever-evolving landscape of employment law, staying abreast of changes is crucial for British independent retailers. The year 2023 witnessed the passage of several Acts of Parliament, heralding new rights and protections for employees. To assist Bira members in navigating these changes, our legal services partner, Worknest, presents a free and comprehensive guide to the Employment Law Changes in 2024.

Key Legislative Changes:

  1. Introduction of New Rights and Protections: The recent Acts of Parliament have ushered in a wave of new rights and protections for employees. However, it's essential to note that many of these changes necessitate further regulations to be formally implemented. Bira members can rely on Worknest's guide to gain insight into these upcoming regulations and ensure compliance.

  2. Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act 2023: A significant development in 2023 was the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Act. This legislation is set to remove the influence of various European-derived rights and decisions in 2024, unless proactive steps are taken to preserve them. Draft Regulations have been presented to address this transition, and Worknest's guide provides invaluable information on how Bira members can navigate this legal shift.

  3. Proposed Changes to Holiday Rights: The aftermath of the Harpur Trust v Brazel case and the Supreme Court's decision in 2023 has prompted important proposed changes to holiday rights. Employers must be prepared for modifications to existing regulations. The Worknest guide outlines these changes, offering clarity on the impending alterations and guiding Bira members through the necessary adjustments to ensure compliance.

The Importance of Staying Informed:

While the introduction dates for some legislative changes remain uncertain, it is paramount for all employers, especially independent retailers, to keep these key proposals on their radar in the coming year. The fast-paced nature of legal developments demands proactive measures to ensure compliance and protect the interests of both employers and employees.
