Welcome to the second 2024 edition of our quarterly global employment and labour law update. In this edition, we provide a comprehensive overview of significant developments in employment and labour legislation, regulations, landmark court rulings, and emerging trends from around the world.

In this quarter, the regulation of non-compete clauses again emerges as a theme, with updates from the United States, France, and Australia, among others. We also explore a range of other diverse and complex issues affecting global employers, such as large-scale layoffs in South Africa, Nigeria's postponement of the Expatriate Employment Levy, minimum wage changes in various jurisdictions, and Chile's "Karin Law" on labour harassment. Additionally, we cover UK legislation on paternity and bereavement leave, Jordan's new medical first aid legislation, and Kuwait's national project to improve employee rights protection. Plus much more!

In our "In conversation with" feature, we speak with Susan Doris-Obando, a partner in our Dublin office. We conclude with a round-up of relevant Dentons news, webinars, and other events.
