Welcome
Jeffrey L. R. Kenens
I am excited to share with you our Autumn 2025 issue of FYI Employment Law News. In a world of fast‑moving rules and cross‑border teams, this edition offers a quick, practical read you can act on.
Among the many issues addressed in this issue, there are articles on Poland’s task‑based working time and fair approaches to overtime; Japan’s high bar for terminating permanent employees; Dutch legislative updates on pay transparency, more certainty for flexible work, AI literacy and self‑employment; Australia’s new criminal approach to wage theft; a US ruling on worker misclassification; and the EU’s renewed push on the right to disconnect and minimum telework standards.
This newsletter is designed to help you and your clients to stay compliant, manage risk, and make smarter decisions across jurisdictions. We encourage you to use these pieces to benchmark policies, spot risks early, and share what’s working in your jurisdiction. Knowledge flows are what make our practice group smarter and our advice more reliable.
A big thank‑you to all contributors across our global network for the insights and hard work behind this edition. If you have ideas for future topics or want to contribute to the next newsletter, please reach out to me. Enjoy the read and do not forget to register for our practice group meeting at the World Conference in Zurich!
Happy reading!Jeffrey L. R. KenensResponsible Editor & Global Chair of the GGI Employment Law PG
