Latest update from our expert

Labor law is a constantly changing entity. Here’s a reminder of just four of the changes in 2021. Are you up to date?

Health and safety impact extended to workers. S.44(1)(d) and (e) Employment Rights Act 1996 has been amended to provide workers with protection from unfavorable treatment on health and safety grounds. Previously, only employees had this protection. This only applies to damage occurring on or after May 31, 2021.
Reporting on gender pay gaps. The reporting deadline for the gender pay gap for the 2020/2021 reporting period has been extended to October 5, 2021 for qualified employers in the private sector.
IR35. Changes to the Non-tariff Labor Rules (or IR35) came into effect on April 6, 2021moved from April 2020. The changes will apply to medium and large private sector clients who hire contractors through an intermediary, typically a staffing firm. In short, the impact of the changes means that the responsibility for determining whether the individual worker is an employee for tax purposes has shifted from the intermediary to the contracting entity. If they determine that the person would be an employee for tax purposes, they, as the assumed employer, are responsible for withholding income tax and social security contributions.
Brexit and immigration. Since January 1, 2021A new points-based immigration system will apply to non-EU and EU nationals moving to the UK to live and work.
