So, what major changes are in the pipeline this year and in the next few years?
Here are few of the forthcoming changes:
1. Immigration Act 2016 - The Immigration Bill became an Act on 12 May 2016 but enforcement is not expected until October 2016. The new Immigration Act 2016 increases the number of potential prosecutions of employers as it lowers the burden of proof from 'knowing' to 'reasonably believing' an employee to be an illegal worker. If the employer knew that a worker is illegal, but still employs him, he may be sentenced up to 5 years. The Immigration Act 2016 also allows immigration enforcement officers to close down a business employing illegal workers for 48 hours. The Act created a new offense of illegal working where illegal workers could face a six-months prison sentence and have their assets seized. Finally, the Act introduces a new requirement for public sector workers in customer-facing roles to speak fluent English.
Mandatory Gender Gap - In October 2016 Gender pay gap reporting regulations coming into force however the first gender pay gap reports to be published by organization with 250 or more employees is not due until 30 April 2018.
