New Legislation Brexit
Welcome to your fourth window of the NOVATIVE HR advent calendar.
Today we are looking at new regulations surrounding Brexit. Currently, it’s still unclear, what will happen to the laws governing employment and labour movement once the UK leaves the EU.
The UK gave notice of its intention to quit the EU on 29 March 2017. From this point there was a two-year timeframe for negotiating the terms of a member state’s departure under the Lisbon Treaty, making 29 March 2019 the UK’s leaving date. But this date can be extended by agreement.
Both sides agreed in March 2018 to a transitional phrase, lasting from 29 March 2019 until 31 December 2020, during which:
- Free movement of EU citizens will continue
- The UK will stay bound by EU trade arrangements while negotiating its own international trade deals.
We head into 2019 still unsure of how Brexit will affect the UK’s employment laws.
