‘Radical’ employment law reforms announced

The Business Secretary has unveiled what he claims to be ‘the most radical reform to employment law for decades’. Some of the reforms announced have been heavily trailed beforehand but many are new. We now face, among other things, changes in redundancy consultation periods, the simplification of compromise agreements, and the compulsory referral of every case to ACAS before it goes to tribunal. While we know some definite changes and dates, many will depend on consultations yet to come. If everything now being proposed comes into effect, employment law faces a turbulent time in the coming months/years. The proposals are looked at in detail in LawTracker under the headings Employment law reforms and Employment tribunal reforms. See also 'Employment law reforms - a price worth paying?'.
