BEERG Newsletter 38 - UK: Employment law changes

Our colleagues at Lewis Silkin explain some recently announced changes in UK employment law. EU rules on holiday pay will be kept, according to new regulations unveiled last week. For workers with irregular hours or who work part of the year, so-called ‘rolled-up’ holiday pay will be allowed and there’ll be a new system for calculating holiday entitlement. This article looks at the new laws coming into force from 1 January 2024 here. The UK government has also confirmed they will proceed with planned reforms to clarify that employers do not have to record daily working hours of workers and extend the limited circumstances when employers can consult with employees directly about a proposed TUPE transfer here.
