A number of employment law changes come into force in April 2024. These include changes to the flexible working and paternity leave regimes, extended redundancy protection during pregnancy/maternity leave, and the introduction of carer’s leave.

The Tribunal Procedure Committee (TPC) has published a consultation on the changes to the rules of procedure in the employment tribunals that will be required when the rule-making responsibility transfers from the Department for Business and Trade to the TPC later this year.

The Presidents of the Employment Tribunals in England and Wales and in Scotland have issued an interim Practice Direction on the Presentation of Responses, which takes effect on 6 April 2024 and concerns the available methods for the presentation of a response to an employment tribunal claim.
