Welcome to the Q4 2024 edition of our global employment and labour newsletter. As we close out the year, we reflect on a time of notable legal reforms and shifting workplace dynamics worldwide. This edition provides key updates on legislative changes and judicial decisions shaping employment practices globally, offering insights to help you navigate this evolving landscape.

In this issue, we explore significant developments, such as the Czech Republic’s proposed Labor Code amendments to enhance flexibility in employment relations and New Zealand’s increased health and safety accountability for consultants. We also cover India’s efforts to integrate gig workers into social welfare systems, Singapore’s landmark legislation strengthening protections for platform workers, and Costa Rica’s introduction of paid bereavement leave to bolster employee rights. These updates, and many more, highlight the importance of staying informed in an ever-changing employment environment.

Additionally, we feature Roberto Ramiro, a Partner at Dentons Philippines, who leads the Labour and Employment team and brings extensive expertise in conflict resolution and arbitration. Roberto also has a strong background in infrastructure and energy, having led major transactions from pre-feasibility studies to contract drafting. We conclude with a round-up of Dentons news, webinars, and upcoming events.
