Brexit and your role - what are your burning questions?

Steve Bridger

With Brexit now looming, we’re putting together a comprehensive set of FAQs with (we hope) some useful pointers for people professionals.

With this in mind, what are the burning questions you need answered?

For example... pondering over what the new immigration system might mean for recruiting EU citizens... or wondering if you should change any policies before the end of this month?

Let us know what you are thinking and we will do our best to address your concerns and answer your questions.

In the meantime... have you visited our Brexit Hub?

  • Hi Steve

    These are concerns rather than questions:

    I have visited the CIPD Brexit Hub and come away not much the wiser. Where I can see dates on articles, there is quite a lot of information that goes well back into 2019. The documents in the GOV.uk toolkit that is signposted from the Brexit Hub are of a similar vintage.

    I have found out where the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill has got to here: services.parliament.uk/.../europeanunionwithdrawalagreement.html

    The Bill appears to be at the Report stage in the House of Lords, so well on its way to becoming law.I have also looked up the text of the Bill.

    What I would appreciate from the CIPD is a simple summary of the Bill's content and where it is in the process of becoming law. I would like this to be dated and the date to be changed every time it is reviewed even if the information doesn't change so that I know it has been recently checked. and I can rely on it.

    The sevices.parliament.uk site requires you to navigate away from the front page to look up definitions and there is an amendment that needs to be looked at in conjunction with the original text of the Bill. Could someone at the CIPD please produce information that is all on one page?

    As well as a simple statement of what's going on with the legislation, we also need to know whether the elderly employer's toolkit is still ok to use.

    It's all very well for GOV.uk to say we aren't required to ask staff and they aren't required to tell us, but my boards are getting very twitchy about what staff are doing. Telling them "Oh, but there's no requirement to ask" looks passive and really is leading with the chin. All of us in organisations where there are EU etc staff need to be able to demonstrate to our employers that we have this under control, insofar as is possible. Back in summer, it was clear how long people had to apply for settled status. Now I'm not confident that the information I can find still applies.
