Local authority information
Editor's message: If you are an HR professional working in a local authority, you need to keep on top of developments specific to your sector, in addition to generally applicable employment law and good practice.
The Employment Rights Bill, published in October 2024, includes a number of measures that will have a particular impact on local authorities, including:
- re-introduction of the “two-tier code” on terms and conditions for outsourced public-sector workers;
- the Adult Social Care Negotiating Body and Fair Pay Agreement;
- the School Support Staff Negotiating Body; and
- the removal of the requirement to publish facility time information and conditions relating to the check-off process.
The Legal timetable enables you to keep track of these developments, as well as those with a wider impact such as reforms relating to zero-hours contracts and the removal of the qualifying period for unfair dismissal.
