About this Event

CIPD Employment Law Update - 2024

2024 has already proven to be a particularly busy time for employment law and a number of changes have been introduced with more on the horizon.

At our first event of 2024, Employment Solicitor Annie Gray will be providing a useful update on the key employment changes that have arisen and are on the horizon. Advice will be given about the practical implications of these changes for your organisation and what you can do to ensure your organisation remains legally compliant.

Some to the key topics Annie will be covering are:

  • Government consultations, recent and new legislation and Codes of Practice
  • New family friendly rights: neonatal leave and pay, redundancy protections, paternity changes, carers leave, extension of flexible working rights
  • Enhanced redundancy protection for workers taking maternity, adoption and/or shared parental leave
  • Case law update

Employment law advice clinic

After the update Annie and another employment solicitor from Schofield Sweeny Solicitors will be hosting a complimentary employment law advice clinic where you will be able to obtain some initial advice in relation to any employment law / HR headaches you have.

NB: Appointments will be limited to 5 minutes to allow ample opportunity for delegates to speak with Annie and her colleague, after which longer advice appointments can be made by appointment with Annie directly.
