Employment Law Team reviews 2010 and 2011
07 January 2011
2010 proved to be a very busy year for employment law, and with the prospect of an even busier 2011, the Employment Team has taken a look back at legal developments and notable case law in 2010 and then a look forward to 2011 to examine the legislation that is expected to be introduced and cases to watch out for that are subject to appeal.
Makbool Javaid, Partner, and Head of Employment Law said: "While the star of the employment law show last year was undoubtedly the implementation of the main employment and equality of terms provisions in the Equality Act on 1 October 2010, 2011 will bring even more challenges with the abolition of the national default retirement age and the introduction of the Agency Workers Regulations providing agency workers with the right to equal treatment as staff hired directly by the employer once the worker has satisfied a 12-week qualifying period.Employers should ensure that they take the necessary legal advice to ensure they are fully prepared."
Full details of the review can be found in SM&B's 2010 and 2011 Employment Law Review.
