Webinar: Day one rights in the Employment Rights Bill
Join our upcoming webinar to explore what the Employment Rights Bill means for employers.
UK workers’ rights are on the cusp of significant transformation. With the Employment Rights Bill reaching the end of its passage through Parliament, businesses must prepare for wide-reaching changes that will redefine the relationship between employers and employees from the very first day of work.
Currently, day one rights are relatively limited for employees. Protection against unfair dismissal only kicks in after two years’ service. Under what will soon become the Employment Rights Act 2025, employees will gain the right to claim unfair dismissal from the outset, although some provisions are made for probationary periods.
16 October, 2.00 pm - 3.00 pm

In this practical 60-minute session, we’ll explore the impact of the new day-one employment rights and other upcoming changes, unpack what they mean for employers, and share practical steps business owners, leaders, and HR professionals can take to prepare.
