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 collective rights, whistleblowing and diversity and inclusion. Also highlighted are ongoing activities by EU Member States to implement the Pay Transparency Directive, and progress on proposed directives for fair telework, the right to disconnect, and revisions to the European Works Councils Directive.
Beyond the EU, Australia saw a landmark penalty awarded related to preventing the exercise of the right to participate in collective bargaining. In China, a new judicial interpretation on labour disputes has taken effect that seeks to prevent employers from overusing or misusing non-compete clauses.
