Employment Rights Act 2025 | your questions answered
The Employment Rights Act is beginning to reshape how UK employers manage their workforce. From six-month unfair dismissal protection and day one paternity and parental leave to SSP reforms and new obligations around flexible working and sexual harassment, the impact is wide-ranging.
16 April 2.00 pm - 3.00 pm
While some of these changes are already in force, many businesses are still grappling with what they mean in practice and scratching their heads as to whether or not their policies, procedures, and managers are ready.
