Download: Supporting your Muslim employees during Ramadan

Guide

Ramadan is expected to begin on 18 February 2026 and will last for approximately 30 days, ending with the celebration of Eid Ul-Fitr. During Ramadan, many Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset and increase acts of worship such as prayer, reflection and charitable giving. Fasting can have an impact on energy levels, working patterns and annual leave requests. As an employer, you should consider how best to support employees observing Ramadan, while ensuring fairness and compliance with equality law.

Are NDAs still legal? The new rules employers must know

Blog

If your organisation uses non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) or confidentiality clauses in settlement agreements or employment contracts, read on. New proposals could soon make it unlawful for employers to use NDAs to stop employees speaking out about harassment or discrimination at work. In a post-#MeToo world, the UK government is moving to render certain NDAs unenforceable. Proposed amendments to the Employment Rights Bill (ERB) would, if passed, give stronger protection to anyone who has experienced – or witnessed – workplace harassment or discrimination.
