Brexit
Given that the Prime Minister lost the vote on her withdrawal
agreement on 15 January, survived Labour's vote of no
confidence, and returned to Parliament on 21 January having tweaked
her original agreement, we are still no closer to knowing what
arrangements will, or will not be, in place by 29 March 2019.
Suffice it say that employers should continue to operate on the
basis that employment law will not suddenly, nor radically, change
in the foreseeable future. The government has incorporated all
current EU legislation into the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and there
is an expectation that most elements of EU-derived employment
legislation will be retained in one form or another once we have
exited the Union – whenever that might occur.
