Join us for the HR Forum: Labour Changes event, sponsored by Longmores Solicitors.

The new Labour Government is proposing reforms to employment law with their Plan to Make Work Pay. A draft of the new Employment Rights Bill is expected at the end of October in what is anticipated as the biggest change to employee rights in a generation. Richard Gvero and Miranda Mulligan from Longmores Employment team will explain what the changes will mean for your business.
