Today, 4 March 2025, the UK Government has announced revisions to its proposals to change employment law having listened to businesses, employers, and others through recent consultation.

Changes to regulations on unfair dismissal, agency and flexible working, parental leave and sick pay are likely to be included once these proposals have become law.

At Fiona Bruce Solicitors we appreciate that this is an area of keen interest to our clients who are business owners and managers, and who, like us, want to ensure that every colleague is respected and treated well – key to any successful business. It is one of the foundations on which Fiona Bruce Solicitors was founded 35 years ago – and remains so today.
