The all-important finer detail in the form of a statement of changes to the Immigration Rules is...... Continue Reading
For more than 75 years, employers were allowed to call employees into a meeting on company time and explain why they thought a union wasn’t a good idea. These “captive audience” meetings had been legal since the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) 1948 decision in Babcock & Wilcox, as long as the employer didn’t threaten,...... Continue Reading

For organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions, keeping track of employment law developments is increasingly challenging. Obligations are multiplying, and HR and legal teams are expected to respond to developments before they create legal, operational or reputational risks.

A recent decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit clarified the reach of the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act (“EFAA”), with significant implications for employers in New York, Connecticut, and Vermont seeking to enforce arbitration agreements.

For years, the UK and US have approached whistleblowing from slightly different starting points. The UK’s regime has primarily focused on preventing those who speak up from being subject to any detriment for having done so. The US has gone a step further, using financial incentives to encourage whistleblowers to bring information directly to regulators....... Continue Reading
Under Belgium’s Private Investigations Act (the “PIA”), an employer may only investigate its employees if the detailed rules governing such investigations are laid down expressly and transparently in a set of internal regulations. Employers were given a transitional period of two years from the PIA’s entry into force to put these regulations in place. That...... Continue Reading
On October 5, 2026, the Second Appellate District of the California Court of Appeal held in Doe v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., No. B344642, that an employer was not strictly liable under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) for harassment perpetrated by the plaintiff’s coworker when that coworker was a supervisor of other......

In part one of this series, we established that the scope of the Private Investigations Act (the “PIA”) is considerably broader than one might assume: if you carry out a workplace investigation internally within a company, you are in principle caught by the stringent provisions of the PIA.
