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.
