Labour has been elected to Government and we are likely to see significant changes to employment and immigration laws as a result.
Below, we focus on some of the key proposals announced by the Labour Party in its manifesto and its New Deal for Working people, considering the implications for employers, and providing some practical tips.
Some of the changes could be introduced relatively quickly, with Labour saying it will introduce an Employment Bill into Parliament within the first 100 days of its Government, although it promises to consult fully with businesses and workers before legislation is passed.
Labour has not outlined its immigration proposals or policies with as much clarity or detail as the employment law provisions. However, immigration has been a key topic in the lead up to the election, and Labour has indicated some key priorities for immigration in its manifesto.
