It is difficult to recall a time when we have not been swamped by changes to employment law, say the Partners at William B. Rose....and this year is unlikely to be any different even with a general election looming.
However, as the saying goes, ‘forewarned is forearmed’, so here is a list of the changes that you can expect to see over the coming months.
If you have any queries regarding any of these changes, or you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0845 600 4996 or info@williambrose.com.
