Join the Employment Law team at Hesketh Henry as we outline a range of recent and upcoming employment law developments that should be on your radar.

Jodi Sharman will start by outlining the proposed Employment Leave Bill and what it could mean for holiday and leave entitlements.

Bridget Perkins will then turn to recent and upcoming health and safety changes, focusing on the new Health and Safety at Work Amendment Bill and its implications for duty holders.

Samantha Cole will discuss a recent case exploring the role of cultural values in employment agreements, and what this signals for how employers approach contractual terms and workplace policies.
