With the long-awaited employment rights bill now published, HR will need to start preparing for the extensive raft of changes that it proposes

The BBC reported that certain measures have not been featured in the Employment Rights Bill — after being included in Labour's plan to "Make Work Pay" issued before the general election. These include the "right to switch off" — preventing employers from contacting staff out of hours on phones, emails and texts.

Britain’s new Labour government has unveiled a slew of new rights for workers, including more generous rules for sick pay and parental leave and major restrictions on certain precarious employment practices such as fire and rehire.
