Major Employment Law Changes Are Coming—Is Your Business Ready? With the introduction of the UK Employment Rights Bill 2024, companies face new challenges: day-one rights for unfair dismissal, stricter fire-and-rehire rules, and default flexible working arrangements. These changes aim to enhance worker protections, but they also increase compliance complexity for employers. Why Use a Temporary Staff Agency? Partnering with a temp agency, especially through a Temp-to-Perm scheme, offers a flexible solution: Risk Mitigation: Assess candidates’ fit during the probation period without immediate long-term commitment, easing the impact of new dismissal protections. Cost Efficiency: Reduce recruitment and training costs by converting proven temporary staff to permanent roles. Agility: Adapt quickly to business demands while maintaining compliance with evolving employment laws. In this changing landscape, agencies provide a bridge to hiring success while protecting your business from regulatory pitfalls. #HR #EmploymentLaw #TempToPerm #FlexibleWork #TalentAcquisition #Compliance #FutureOfWork #QSR #QSRecruitment

🔍 Why Isn't There a Definition Clause in Employment Agreements? Ever wondered why employment agreements often skip the definition clause? Here are a few reasons: Simplicity & Brevity: Keeping it straightforward and concise is key. Adding definitions can make the document longer and more complex. Common Understanding: Many terms are well understood in the context of employment law, so there's no need for extra definitions. Incorporation by Reference: Agreements might refer to other documents (like employee handbooks) for definitions, avoiding redundancy. Contextual Clarity: Terms are often clear from their context within the agreement itself. Legal and Customary Practices: Norms and practices vary, and in some regions or industries, it's standard to exclude a definition clause. For clarity, specific terms can always be defined within the relevant sections or added in a separate definition section if needed. #EmploymentAgreements #LegalTips #HR #LegalClarity #EmploymentLaw

Reasonable Notice is applicable when a written contract does not have in place a set notice of termination period When Business Owners and Human Resources teams ask me - do I need to have a written employment contract in place for employees? The answer is no - BUT and this is a big BUT the huge danger is reasonable notice. This can range from the case law anywhere from 3 months to 24 months. This will depend on factors like seniority, years of service, remuneration and how difficult it is for an employee to receive similar remuneration at another place of work. In one case the employee was awarded nearly $1 million dollars in reasonable notice. Solution = have a properly written Employment contract in place. An area where NB Employment Law are very good at. #lawyersforemployers Read more about reasonable notice here https://lnkd.in/gAmRKyPf

Whether an employee is able to work for another organisation will very much depend on the wording of the employment contract. A clause in the employment contract might for example prohibit an employee, without consent from the employer, from being involved in any capacity with a business which is in competition with the employer. This could cover being an employee, partner, contractor or owner. A clause could be wider though. It could preclude an employee from having any outside interests, unless agreed by the employer, regardless of whether or not the employee would be competing.
