Welcome to the October edition of our Employment Law Bulletin
Our readers and clients continue to watch the progress of the
Employment Rights Bill with interest, and some concern, as it nears
the completion of its passage through parliament. Our first article
this month summarises the recent progress of the Bill, including
amendments made by the House of Lords and rejected by the House of
Commons, and the likely next steps for this significant change to
employment legislation.
The Government's review of the parental leave and pay system
began in July 2025. In our second article we cover the
Government's recent response to a report of the Women and
Equality Committee which recommended significant changes to
paternity leave and pay.
We are seeing an increase in the number of employment tribunal
claims brought against our clients in the not-for-profit sector.
Our final article sets out top tips for charity employers facing
tribunal claims, focusing on the particular risks and obligations
for charity employers involved in tribunal proceedings.
The next in our series of Employment Brunch
Briefings takes place on 9 December 2025
and is our annual employment law update, taking a look at the key
cases and legislative changes in the last 12 months, along with
upcoming changes under the Employment Rights Act. Please note that
this is a free in-person event at our Leeds office
and places are limited. Please click the link below to book your
