Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

720: 2026 Employment Law Year in Review: England & Wales
Q: What are the practical steps employers should take now to address the new harassment duties and third-party liability?
Perform a tailored risk assessment to identify harassment hotspots, update policies and training for all staff (especially managers), ensure easy reporting mechanisms, maintain thorough investigations, and review third-party contracts and codes of conduct to cover harassment risks; prepare for explicit employer liability for third-party harassment in the next wave of changes.
720: 2026 Employment Law Year in Review: England & Wales
Q: Can you walk us through the headline employment law stories from the past year and how they will affect employers?
The Employment Rights Act is the marquee change, with the unfair dismissal protection expanding through reduced minimum service from two years to six months from 2027, removal of the cap on compensation allowing awards based on actual loss, and broader rights including flexible working and notice for casual workers. Employers should tighten probation procedures, train managers on fair procedures, and prepare for higher potential liabilities in some cases.
721: Employee Appreciation in a Hybrid World: Recognition, Risk, and Remote Work
Q: How can employers mitigate proximity bias in performance evaluations?
Employers should implement objective metrics, ensure inclusive feedback from both in-office and remote workers, and require bias training for managers to prevent unfair advantage for those physically present.
718: 2026 Employment Law Year in Review: Rwanda
Q: What should employers be paying attention to in the coming year beyond taxation, especially regarding misconduct and contract types?
Employers should align terminations with the ministerial list of cross misconduct, secure prior approvals when necessary, and consider fixed-term contracts with short renewal cycles to manage risk and administrative burden. Regularly review policies and ensure that any actions categorized as misconduct are properly justified and documented.
718: 2026 Employment Law Year in Review: Rwanda
Q: What were, in your view, the most significant legal changes in 2025 that impacted employers, and are there anticipated changes for 2036?
The main changes revolve around payroll taxation—an increase to 14 percent total contributions—and now reporting the net pay, not just gross, which affects budgeting for employers. Additionally, the cross misconduct framework requires ministerial validation for certain terminations, with possible penalties for unlawful termination. For 2036, expect continued emphasis on compliance with these frameworks and more clarity around terminations and contract structuring, including fixed-term renewals.
