In an article in Make a Difference, Employment Litigation and Counseling Senior Associate Brigitte Weaver discussed key provisions of the recently introduced Employment Rights Bill.
Make a Difference reported a key change in the Bill is that it seeks to provide protection from unfair dismissal from the first day of employment. Brigitte explained that the change would coincide with a nine-month probation period for new hires and that during this period, employers would have a "lighter touch" approach in evaluating a new employees' fit in their role.
