Brexit

People

Many UK businesses have relied upon straightforward access to the EU labour market to meet their staffing needs.  They must now adapt to the UK's new immigration system, and the deadlines that are part of the new regime, to ensure that their staff can comply with the requirements.  EU nationals meanwhile must also understand what is required in order to enter or stay in the UK. The EU/UK Trade and Co-operation Agreement contains a number of provisions safeguarding the current levels of worker protection – whilst significant changes to employment rights are therefore unlikely, employers should watch for developments.
