It’s April and it’s raining statutory reforms to employment law. In this week’s NLJ, barrister and emeritus professor Ian Smith wades through the latest regulations, including on flexible working, carer’s leave, parental leave and the domestic worker exemption
Smith comments that implementation of these statutory reforms ‘keeps getting later and closer to the wire’ with one commencement order ‘only published on Good Friday… many years ago, that might have been considered blasphemous, meriting the burning at the stake of the official concerned, but we have moved on from that.’
And there’s more. Smith also tackles a trio of notable cases. Two of these cover whistleblowing while the third concerns dismissal due to alleged breakdown of trust and confidence.
