In this episode, we tackle the latest payroll and employment law updates, focusing on the Labour government's proposed changes and their impact on the payroll industry. Our expert panel examines the potential overhaul of zero-hour contracts and the push towards actual hours worked contracts, shedding light on the implications for various sectors.

We explore significant reforms in employment law, including enhanced protections for unfair dismissal, expanded parental leave, and statutory sick pay modifications. The discussion covers the anticipated Employment Rights Bill, emphasizing the government's commitment to enforcing employment rights and introducing a real living wage.

The conversation extends to the evolving landscape of pay gap reporting, including the challenges and benefits of reporting on ethnicity and disability pay gaps alongside gender. Our panel provides insights into flexible working rights and the complexities of implementing these policies from day one.

On the pensions front, we delve into the proposed pensions bill, which addresses the consolidation of small pension pots, the future of defined benefit markets, and the impact of the triple lock on state pensions. We also consider the potential creation of a single enforcement body and fair work agencies to ensure compliance with new standards.
