Employment Rights Hub
Stone King is delighted to have launched our Employment Rights Hub, which brings together legal expertise and practical HR experience, to help organisations respond to the new legislation with clarity and confidence, and in a way that aligns with their values. The hub will help employers, whatever their size, ensure workplace compliance throughout the transition period while these employment legislation changes are implemented.
The Employment Rights Bill sets out some of the most significant changes to employment law in a generation and will impact individuals and organisations of all sizes, across all sectors. In addition, there will be some sector-specific impact which we will share with you as it arises.
Our Hub content will be updated as the legislation progresses and webinars will be advertised on key topics.
