Did You Know? 🤔 New Employer Obligations from October 26th Proposed new legislation on workers rights has hit the headlines, but it is clear that it will be a while before this is finalised and enacted. However, there is a law that employers must comply with, this month. From tomorrow, the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Bill will bring new responsibilities for employers to actively prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. They will have a duty to take “reasonable steps” to prevent harassment while Tribunals will have power to increase compensation for breaches. HR People Support Ltd have compiled a useful summary of all this, which can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eatk5yJJ
