Big changes to employment law are coming. Let’s get ahead of it.

On the 18th December 2025, the Employment Rights Bill received royal assent, which means big changes to existing employment law are on the way.

This now means that 28 major reforms are coming, which will make it the biggest shift in UK employment law in a generation. The changes will be Implemented in phases across this year and 2027. Key changes include day-one rights for paternity and sick pay, restricted ‘fire and rehire’ practices, new zero-hours contract regulations, and strengthened protections against sexual harassment

Businesses are asking “But what does the Employment Rights Act actually mean for us?” Our experts can help.

Process mistakes can mean automatic awards

Missing or non-compliant documentation can trigger additional tribunal awards… even where the underlying issue could have been avoided.

“The Employment Rights Act is a significant shift. But, it doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. With the right preparation, this becomes a manageable, structured piece of work rather than a last-minute scramble. We can help”
