Employment law webinar: Employment Rights Bill - Day 1 rights including unfair dismissal

In the first of our four part series of webinars on the Employment Rights Bill, Innes Clark and Meghan Jenkins looked at the "Day 1" rights being brought into effect via the Bill, with a particular focus on the removal of the qualifying period for unfair dismissal. Topics covered included: -

  • How the initial period of employment/statutory probationary period is likely to work
  • What we know from the Government's consultation process so far
  • What is and isn't covered by the lighter touch dismissal procedure during the statutory probation period
  • Potential trap doors
  • Likely impact on employers and the number of claims
  • What you should be doing to prepare
  • Q&A

This webinar is applicable to the law of Scotland, England and Wales.
