Employment law in the UK has seen many important changes in recent months that have had a significant impact on the rights of employees and the responsibilities of employers.  Changes in the law regarding age discrimination, maternity and paternity rights, flexible working, holiday entitlement and smoking at work have all increased the pressure on employers to understand their legal obligations and implement the necessary practices and procedures. Further major changes are forthcoming between now and 2010.
