In this episode, Belfast employment partners Ciara Fulton and Paul Gillen introduce the Department for the Economy’s “Way Forward” response to the recent ‘Good Jobs’ Employment Rights Bill consultation, marking a potentially major step forward for employment law in Northern Ireland. They set the scene for what these wide-ranging reforms could mean for the world of work in NI, and how organisations can start to think about the changes on the horizon. This episode launches a five-part mini-series, with each instalment set to explore the proposed Bill’s core themes in more detail: terms of employment, pay and benefits, voice and representation, and work-life balance. Ciara and Paul provide a high-level perspective on the Bill’s ambitions and the direction of travel for employment rights in Northern Ireland. Tune in for a concise introduction to the ‘Good Jobs’ consultation response and join us for the rest of the series as we unpack each theme.
