Employment Law Developments in 2025

28 January 2025 | 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. (GMT)

The government’s flagship Employment Rights Bill will keep employers busy over the next few months. But there are other significant developments on the horizon too, both in Parliament and the courts.

In this webinar, the Hogan Lovells UK employment team will discuss some key areas of interest for HR practitioners and employment lawyers in 2025, including:

New rules on dismissals – progress towards making unfair dismissal a “day one” right and restrictions on fire and re-hire;
Discrimination and harassment changes – the preventative duty on sexual harassment, a proposed Equality Bill and freedom of expression in the workplace;
Family-friendly developments – with a focus on the new right to neonatal care leave in April;
Redundancy duties – expanded obligations to consult collectively and “fair” individual redundancy consultation; and
Whistleblowing protection – qualifying disclosures, job applicants and vicarious liability for detriments.
