Brexit fallout: potential changes to UK employment law

The vote for an EU exit could foreshadow significant change to UK employment law, much of which flows from the European parliament. Stuart Chamberlain, Wolters Kluwer employment law specialist, examines the potential impact and practical implications for UK employment law from workers' rights to agency rules

What is the immediate impact of vote for Brexit?

The Government has now shed a little light on what will happen (or, more accurately, what won’t happen) following the British electorate’s vote to leave the European Union (EU).

The Prime Minister, David Cameron, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, have confirmed that the Government will respect the result and carry out the wishes of the British people but that it will be the next Prime Minister who will decide when to activate Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon 2009 and inform the European Council that the UK is to leave the EU. A new Conservative leader – and, presumably, the next Prime Minister – is expected to be elected by the end of September 2016.
