Labour and employment law issues rarely stand still, and it is essential for any business that operates internationally to have an appreciation of the current trends and developments in the employment and labour law regimes of the jurisdictions in which it engages staff.

The eleventh edition of Global Legal Insights – Employment & Labour Law, published by Global Legal Group, provides coverage of a wide range of recent employment and labour law developments and labour market trends in 19 jurisdictions. Key points from the UK chapter include:

  • recent developments around the practice of “fire and rehire” including a proposed new code of practice for UK employers;
  • recent case law concerning disability discrimination including the management of long term sickness absence, and employees who are neurodiverse;
  • a high profile case concerning the protection from discrimination for employees who hold ‘gender critical beliefs.’

Jason Butwick and Rebecca Turner of Dechert's London office served as the contributing editors of the eleventh edition of Global Legal Insights – Employment & Labour Law and also authored the chapter on employment and labour law in the United Kingdom.
