The Employment Rights Act 2025 brings some big changes for employers, with key reforms rolling out between now and January 2027.
In the downloadable webinar, which was recorded on 10 March 2026, our employment law experts Sally Gwilliam and Helen Dyke provide a clear, high-level update on what’s already changed, what’s coming next, and what employers should be preparing for.
We help you identify what needs attention now versus later, and feel more confident discussing ERA readiness with leadership teams, boards or investors.
As always, we talk through the changes in plain English, and there will be time for questions at the end.
What we cover
- Where we are now – what has already changed and what that means for employers
- What’s coming in 2026, including:
- April 2026 changes to statutory sick pay, day one family and parental leave rights, collective redundancy rules, and the creation of the Fair Work Agency
- Autumn 2026 reforms affecting fire and rehire practices, third-party harassment, and extended employment tribunal time limits
- Looking ahead to January 2027, changes to unfair dismissal protection reducing to six months’ service

- How to assess risk and prioritise next steps for your business
