27. Trade Union Changes and Post Termination for Migrant Workers

On The Legal Alternative this week, Sam provides an update on recent trade union reforms introduced under the Employment Rights Act changes, including amendments that reduce notice periods for industrial action and extend ballot mandates. Nils then discusses practical and legal considerations when terminating the employment of migrant workers, providing guidance on managing visa expiry dates appropriately and avoiding discrimination risks. Key Takeaways: Industrial Action Notice Period: This has been cut from 14 days to 10 giving companies less time to prepare. Ballot mandate: Increases mandate period from 6 to 12 months but this however is only applicable to ballots opened after 18th Feb. Dismissal protection: The ERA removes the 12 week cap for the automatic protection employees gain from unfair dismissal for taking part in industrial action and now applies irrespective of the industrial action. Notice of industrial action ballot: ERA reduces the amount of information that unions must include in the notice of an industrial action ballot that they send to an employer. Political funds 10-year ballot requirement: Removes the requirement for unions to ballot their members every 10 years on the maintenance of a political fund. Migrant workers must be treated the same as other employees in dismissal processes. Poor performance must be addressed properly - a visa expiry cannot be used as a shortcut. Immigration status should not influence redundancy selection. Employers should monitor visa expiry dates proactively, ensure contracts allow for payment in lieu of notice (PILON), and notify the Home Office when employment ends. Failure to follow fair process can result in race discrimination claims. Seminars & Events: https://www.chadwicklawrence.co.uk/se...
