FREE Webinar: Navigating the changes in employment legislation, payroll and tax
Join our Employment team for our free live webinar on ‘Navigating the Changes in Employment Legislation, Payroll and Tax’, in partnership with Armstrong Watson.
2024 saw a number of important announcements from the Government in the area of employment legislation. The Autumn Budget detailed major updates for employers regarding payroll and tax regulations, most notably to Employers’ National Insurance Contributions and the National Minimum Wage. We also saw the publication of The Employment Rights Bill in October, promising reforms to workers’ rights, including measures on ‘exploitative’ zero-hours contracts, as well as entitlement to sick pay and parental leave rights from day one of employment.
Our panel of experts will break down the key elements of these announcements, consider the potential impact on employers and discuss how you can navigate the challenges, should some or all of the Government’s plans be implemented.
Guest speakers:
Anna Lovett, from our Employment team will examine whether the key elements of the new proposals in employment law will actually come to fruition and examine the potential impact on employers.
Karen Thomson, Head of Payroll at Armstrong Watson will give her views from a payroll perspective, including the changes to sick pay, zero-hour contracts and parental leave and pay, should the reforms continue through Parliament.
Brian Rudkin, Employment Tax Partner at Armstrong Watson will consider the indirect impact of the Employment Rights Bill for employers, including hiring trends, potential tax implications and the approach to enforcement by HMRC and the wider Government.
We welcome questions before and during the webinar, all of which will be handled anonymously.
