Employment Law guide

April – May 2025 edition

Do you know when the latest complex legislation changes come into effect? And are you aware of the work required to ensure your business is fully compliant?

In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court has confirmed that under the Equality Act 2010, the terms “man” and “woman” refer to biological sex. This decision comes with serious implications for inclusivity at work.

The eligibility criteria for Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act has now been confirmed, aligning with other family-friendly rights, with pay entitlement matching statutory family payments for employees with at least 26 weeks’ service.

Lastly, for this months case law we review Higgs v Farmor’s School, where the Court of Appeal ruled that dismissing someone for expressing a protected belief is unlawful unless the response is proportionate.

We hope you find this guide useful.
