Employment Law Changes 2013

Employment law is an area that seems to be subject to constant change and 2013 will prove to be no exception. We will see legislative changes that will lead to increases in statutory maternity, paternity and adoption leave payments from April 2013. Statutory sick pay rates again will increase as of April and the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill will be implemented. Unpaid parental leave will increase to 18 weeks as of March . We will also see the implementation of fees for employees to lodge claims at the employment tribunal, a major change.

Such changes affect both employers and employees. Constant updates through employment tribunal decisions and appeal decisions mean the legal advice should be obtained at an early stage by any party that has an employment law issue.
