Welcome to the Summer edition of the Employment Law Update.
It has been a difficult few months due to the cost of living crisis and the consequences of that on everyone. In some sectors, salaries have stagnated, however, employers remain alert to this; with some employers helping their staff by giving one-off payments to ease the strain or looking at further ways of flexible working.
The employment landscape has changed, the concept of being in the office between nine to five is now predominantly consigned to an option as opposed to the norm. This is why the trial for the four-day week that has started will be most telling when it concludes next year. Most employers are certainly embracing a more flexible approach to working which leads to a contented employee which means that productivity and retention levels are high.
