EU Employment Law Report 2024
Written By
In this report, our Brussels team of Bird & Bird’s International Employment Group review the key EU employment law developments of 2024, focusing on legislative initiatives and laws that are directly relevant to legal and HR practitioners.
2024 was a transitional year for legislative initiatives at EU level, due to EU elections in June 2024 for a new EU Parliament followed by the renewal of the EU Commission in the Autumn.
In the report the team provides an overview of relevant EU legislation during the past year in the wider area of social policy and draw a distinction between:
- EU legislation adopted prior to 2024 and in the implementation stage;
- Legislation that was adopted in 2024; and
- EU legislation currently in the pipeline for adoption in 2025.
Finally, the team discuss key case law updates of the ECJ, providing commentary on these rulings and the wider impact on the EU HR landscape.
