The General Election: What does a New Labour Government Mean for Employment Law?

Following the outcome of the UK's recent General Election, significant changes are expected in the area of employment law, given the Labour Party's pledge to 'make work pay' in its manifesto. In this Report, Criticaleye Partner DWF outlines some of the key employment law reforms that will soon be in motion. 

Key Takeaways Include:
  • Labour has committed to hit the ground running and introduce legislation relating to employment law within 100 days on entering Government
  • With regards to zero hour contracts, Labour has committed to end 'one-sided' flexibility and ensure all jobs provide a baseline level of security and predictability
  • On family working rights, Labour has outlined that it should be a default position for employees to be able to request the right to flexible working arrangements from the first day of employment
