Empower Your Workforce | Kate Palmer

Kate opened the event with a comprehensive overview of the significant changes in employment law in 2024. Her discussion highlighted new regulations and policies affecting carers’ leave, flexible working, holiday entitlement, pregnancy and redundancy protections, paternity leave, and statutory payments. Palmer emphasized the necessity for organizations to stay informed and agile in response to these changes. She also provided a forward-looking perspective on potential legislative shifts under different political parties, which could introduce significant adjustments such as day one rights for various types of leave and the introduction of a “right to disconnect.”
