The Employment Rights Bill was published yesterday, running to more than 150 pages and containing 28 changes to employment law. There are no major surprises as most of the changes were trailed in the Labour Party Manifesto and to some extent in the King’s Speech in July, although there is some unexpected detail. Employers yet to take any steps to prepare for the trailed reform can take comfort in the fact that only a handful of smaller changes are expected in the short term, including the changes to flexible working, which are not groundbreaking.
