May's Workplace Law
Nick Hobden
I lead a team helping organisations and people with their employment, equality and GDPR issues to secure the right outcome. My client base includes manufacturing, services, charity & education clients.
Welcome to the first edition of my LinkedIn newsletter, Workplace Law. Each month, my colleagues and I in the Employment team at Thomson Snell & Passmore will share key employment law updates with you.
In this month's edition we discuss the upcoming changes to TUPE legislation and the Government consultation, the advantages and disadvantages of ACAS early conciliation and the importance of employers taking steps to protect their confidential information to ensure that employees comply with their confidentiality obligations, both during garden leave and after the employment has ended. Plus, you can watch our latest video on the different types of restrictive covenants.
Following the recent announcement of a July general election, we are hosting a virtual HR Club election special next month where we will focus on each political party's stance on employment law and what changes they are going to promise in their bids to run the country from 5 July. We hope you can join us, please sign up below.
If you have any questions about any of the topics raised in Workplace Law, please do get in touch.
Restrictive covenants

Changes to TUPE legislation and Government consultation
Changes to TUPE legislation are due to take effect on 1 July 2024. July will also see the end of the Government consultation period regarding additional proposals to TUPE legislation.? Here Jessica Wells considers both and what employers should be aware of.
10 years of ACAS early conciliation
?ACAS early conciliation is a mandatory step a claimant must go through before they can present a claim in the employment tribunal. In this article I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of early conciliation.
Garden leave: competing in the Premier League
In this article Ben Stepney explores the importance of employers taking steps to protect their confidential information and ensuring employees comply with their confidentiality obligations both during garden leave and after the employment has ended. This is illustrated by recent events in football news this month concerning garden leave and the potential breach of confidentiality by Dan Ashworth, the Sporting Director for Newcastle United.
