Employment Rights Bill Resource Hub
Significant changes to employment law are on their way.
From expanding day one rights and extending equal pay to abolishing zero-hour contracts and restricting fire and rehire practices, the Employment Rights Bill (ERB) will transform the workplace and necessitate changes to organisations’ contracts, policies and practices.
This Hub is designed to support employers and HR professionals by providing all the information you need to prepare for and adapt to new legislation, ensuring your organisation remains compliant in the months and years ahead.
