Welcome to the August edition of our Employment Law Bulletin

As we come to the closing weeks of the 2024 Summer holidays this month's bulletin starts with a look at the proposed repeal of the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 which will affect the delivery of public services, including education.

Employment Team Partner Sue King looks at the impact employment status has on the rights of individuals during pregnancy and maternity and we round off the articles in this bulletin with the second part of our four-part essential guide to the disciplinary process, which provides tips on handling disciplinary hearings and outcomes and some of the associated tricky aspects such as the right to be accompanied, standards of proof and when an employer can dismiss on notice or without notice.

As announced in our July bulletin our Autumn free virtual Employment Brunch Briefings on the theme of employee engagement and employee voice starts on 10 September 2024 with a presentation by Helen Houghton of Acas speaking about the importance of an inclusive and engaged workforce. On 1 October we will be joined by Nita Clarke OBE, Director of the Involvement and Participation Association who will discuss employee engagement and employee voice, including working with employee forums and trade unions.

Finally, Wrigleys' annual Charity Governance Seminar will take place on 3 October.
