		<title>A busy day for employment law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So today is a busy day for employment law announcements. The Red Tape challenge shifts its focus to employment law, the Government has published a discussion document on an employment law review and George Osborne has announced that the qualifying period for unfair dismissal will rise to two years and a system of fees will be introduced for Employment Tribunal Claimants.]]></description>

		<title>News of the World and Employment Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The sudden closure of the News of the World has led to a great deal of employment law comment about the litigation that News International is likely to face. From unfair dismissal claims, through the collective consultation provisions, culminating in a learned analysis of ‘stigma’ damages that may be recoverable by journalists whose professional reputation [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vince Cable and the future of the law on strikes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The future of industrial action reform essentially depends on how much industrial action there is, and the level of political pressure on the LibDems within BIS, rather than any principled approach to how the law should work. The politics may be good knockabout stuff - but its unlikely to lead to wise lawmaking. ]]></description>

		<title>Sharon Shoesmith &#8211; My take on the Court of Appeal Decision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Surely any impartial observer would describe that process as being unfair? Isn’t it pretty fundamental (and obvious) that before anyone is removed from office on the basis of criticisms that have been made of them they should be informed of those criticisms and given an opportunity to respond? That doesn’t require a huge delay or a complicated quasi-judicial procedure, just a common-sense pause to allow the individual to make some sort of reasoned response.]]></description>

		<title>Creating a Modern Workplace &#8211; The Government&#8217;s consultation</title>

		<title>Government Guidance on the Agency Workers Regulations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the end of last week the Government published draft guidance on the Agency Workers Regulations 2010. For a two week period, everyone is being asked to suggest ways in which the guidance can be improved and I’d urge everyone to take a look at it and see if it makes sense to them. On [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ranting about Positive Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have no political objection to positive action, but I do think that the provision being brought in on April 2011 is badly drafted and that employers should not touch it with a bargepole. If you want to hear me ranting about just how badly drafted S.159 is you can listen to the latest XpertHR [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discrimination, Reasonable Adjustments and Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve spent the last couple of weeks studiously keeping out of an employment law argument. That&#8217;s not like me at all, but this one involves Duncan Bannatyne and I already have that T-shirt. Now that the row seems to have run its course, however, I did just want to make a couple of comments about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Retirement &#8211; As You Were</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It appears that we can breathe a sigh of relief over the abolition of the Default Retirement Age. Tonight the Government has published a new draft set of Regulations which corrects the problem that was identified in the previous version. Under the new transitional provisions the notification of retirement must be given before the commencement [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abolition of Default Retirement Age &#8211; important update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Regulations abolishing the default retirement age have now been laid before Parliament and they have an unexpected sting in the tail. The way in which the transitional provisions have been drafted means that while it is still possible to force through the retirement of someone who reaches the age of 65 between 6th April and 30th September [...]]]></description>
