About this webinar
The Employment Rights Act 2025 will bring much-needed clarity on what’s changing in employment law, when, and how employers should respond.
Following our October 2025 and February 2026 broadcasts on the practical impact of the ERA, this session will focus on the changes due to come into effect this year, confirmed timelines, and any supporting guidance published so far. We’ll focus on what to expect in August 2026 and beyond, and what that means in practice for HR and payroll teams.
Our experts will cover:
- What the August 2026 electronic and workplace balloting regulations mean for trade unions
- Stricter fire and rehire rules, new written statement requirements for trade union rights, and adjusted collective consultation thresholds – all coming into force October 2026
- The January 2027 changes to unfair dismissal: a reduced qualifying period of six months, removal of the compensation cap, and enhanced protections for pregnant women and new mothers
- Updated requirements for gender equality and menopause support action plans, rolling out throughout 2027
- Key dates, risks and actions to help you stay compliant
Join us for a practical, up-to-date webinar designed to help you move from awareness to action with confidence.
