In this podcast, our experts, partner Sarah George, consultant Stephen Foster and knowledge lawyer Joanne Bell, discuss the changes that will be bought in by the Employment Rights Bill in relation to expanding workers' protection from harassment, bereavement leave, enhanced protection of pregnant employees and new mothers, flexible working and family leave rights, and gender equality action plans. This includes discussion of what the current version of the Bill says on these topics, and what further information is contained in the two consultations that were published late last month, on bereavement leave and enhanced dismissal protection for pregnant employees and new mothers.
