The Employment Rights Bill made 2024 a major year for employment law in the UK. In this article, Hardeep Kular takes a look at the evolving legal landscape and the key changes which employers and employees should be watching out for in 2025 as well as further anticipated changes in 2026.
The word ex gratia comes from Latin meaning by favour. Often employers will dress up their offer of an ex gratia payment to say that it is within their gift and suggest that they are being generous. Whilst it is accurate that there is a discretion on the part of the employer, the ex gratia offer is not usually about doing you a favour.
Whilst the majority of workers would be keen to whistleblow if they saw wrongdoing, over half (51%) of the UK’s workforce would not feel safe disclosing to their employer if they believed the company was breaking the law.
Settlement agreements are usually offered by an employer as a means of settling a dispute or to offer favourable financial terms to an employee to leave employment. In assessing whether a settlement agreement is the right decision for you, it is necessary to consider the alternatives.
