Key changes to Employment legislation in April 2012

In response to a consultation on resolving workplace disputes the Government will bring in a number of changes to employment legislation next month, including the following:

• An increase in the qualifying period for unfair dismissal from one year to two years. This will only affect employees who start their employment after 6 April 2012. The intention is to help employers feel more confident  about hiring people.
