Welcome
Jeffrey L. R. Kenens
As we transition into the vibrant season of autumn, we are delighted to present you with the latest edition of the GGI FYI Employment Law News. This edition highlights significant developments in employment law from various jurisdictions around the world, showcasing the depth and breadth of expertise within our Employment Law Practice Group (PG). Please find below just a few examples of the engaging content we have compiled in this edition.
In the UK, we explore the evolving landscape of unfair dismissal rules, providing insights into recent changes that may affect both employers and employees. From Australia, we dive into restrictive covenants in employment contracts. This area continues to generate debate, and our contributors provide valuable commentary on the legal and practical implications of these clauses, including proposed reforms that may need businesses to reconsider their reliance on non-compete and non-solicitation clauses.
The digital age is reshaping the way we work, and this edition also focuses on the impact of digital transformation and automation in employment law. As technology advances, we examine the challenges and opportunities it presents for employers, including how it affects workforce structuring. On a broader scale, we also review the proposed EU Directive on gender pay equality. This important initiative aims to close the gender pay gap across Europe, and we discuss its potential impact on businesses and the legal requirements that may soon be enforced across EU member states.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the authors who contributed to this edition. Their expertise and commitment are what make this newsletter such an invaluable resource. We are incredibly proud to have so many renowned experts on employment law as valued members of our GGI Employment Law Practice Group.
We hope this edition provides you with both useful insights and stimulating reading as you navigate the ever-changing landscape of employment law.
We wish you all a wonderful autumn season, full of success, and as always, happy reading!
With kind regardsJeffrey L. R. KenensResponsible Editor & Global Chair of the GGI Employment Law PG
