Employment law and HR issues: Our crystal ball for the next 12 months 2023

Nick Le Riche, Asten Hawkes and Chris Greep from our Employment team covered the new set of challenges for all businesses, with the Government backing a number of Private Members’ bills on extending maternity protections on redundancy, sexual harassment in the workplace, neonatal leave and carer's leave. The Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill is also making its way through Parliament and, if passed in its current form, will repeal all EU derived laws by the end of 2023 (although the Government will be able to extend that deadline to 2026). They also looked into a number of key employment cases, which will reach the Supreme Court in 2023 as well as looking at the impact of the main cases from 2022.
