Global employment law insights: Key updates & actions
Keeping appraised of new legal developments and maintaining visibility of those on the horizon continues to be critical for those planning and managing a global workforce. Drawing on the significant experience and expertise of our teams of lawyers around the world assisting clients with all aspects of employment law, this Update provides an overview of some of the most significant legal developments that are shaping workforces. Featured in this edition are recent developments in the areas of platform workers, leave entitlements, employment contracts, working time, and discrimination and harassment. Notable EU-wide developments include Member States continuing their preparations to transpose the Pay Transparency Directive, and a revision of the existing European Works Councils Directive continuing to make its way through the EU legislative process. Beyond the EU, we are seeing jurisdictions focusing on enforcement actions to protect employment rights, including in the Middle East where Saudi Arabia has recently strengthened its labour inspection rules and, in the UAE, enhanced penalties related to Emiratisation initiatives compliance are now in force.
