Nick Hurley writes for People Management on the Conservatives' employment law proposals ahead of the General Election

With political party manifestos being published throughout this month, Nick Hurley, Partner and Head of Employment, outlines the legislative changes businesses can expect if the party is re-elected on 4 July, in an article for People Management.

In the piece, Nick covers:

  • Tax and living wage 
  • 'Fit notes', which would be designed to deal with what Rishi Sunak calls a 'sick note culture' in the UK
  • A proposed change to the definition of 'sex'

Nick also comments extensively on the notable exclusions from the manifesto - from the reintroduction of employment tribunal fees, to legislation around non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and non-compete clauses.
