Myerson Solicitors’ Autumn Employment Law Update 2024 webinar provided HR professionals and business leaders with a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in employment law.
Partner Joanne Henderson, senior associate Jack Latham (pictured main) and associate Vicki Fagan covered key topics including anticipated legislation around “day one” unfair dismissal rights, strengthening protections for new and expectant mothers, and updates to the National Minimum Wage and Statutory Sick Pay, all of which carry substantial implications for employers in the UK.
Led by Myerson’s Employment Solicitors, a highlight of the session was the exploration of the “right to disconnect,” which aims to address work-life balance concerns in a digitally connected world.
Additionally, Myerson’s experts offered valuable insights into managing and preventing workplace sexual harassment, with an emphasis on proactive measures that organisations can implement to safeguard their workforce.
The discussion also covered the evolving legal landscape around gender-critical beliefs, addressing both the rights of individuals to express these beliefs and the potential for workplace conflicts arising from them.
Through this webinar, Myerson’s experienced employment law team aimed to equip attendees with actionable knowledge to navigate complex legal requirements, prioritize employee well-being, and foster a compliant, supportive work environment.
By staying informed on these critical updates, employers can mitigate legal risks, promote inclusivity, and enhance overall employee satisfaction.
In September 2024, Myerson Solicitors became the first law firm in Manchester to convert from an LLP to a 100% employee-owned business.
