Legislation regarding sexual harassment is being strengthened and comes into effect on 26 October 2024. This means that all employers will be expected to put in place reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. This means having a more systemised approach when dealing with such allegations including initial and ongoing training, robust processes, and procedures, and clear communication regarding acceptable behaviour. As with any legislation - ignorance is no defence! Any claims that go to an Employment Tribunal can be uplifted by 25% - if it was part of a multiple ET claim, this could easily be six figures. Don't take risks, read on to find out more and get in touch for guidance. #hradvice #hrsurreyhills #hrwoking #hrdorking #employmentrights #sme
