Employment law is changing.
The Employment Rights Act 2025 is being phased in across 2026 and 2027, with some changes already in force and further reforms still to come.
Changes already introduced include Statutory Sick Pay from day one, day-one paternity and unpaid parental leave rights, and stronger whistleblowing protection for those reporting sexual harassment.
Next on the agenda are further reforms covering areas including unfair dismissal, harassment, flexible working and zero-hours contracts.
For employers, preparation means knowing what has changed, what’s coming next and making sure policies, contracts, payroll processes, record keeping and manager guidance keep pace.
Acas has also highlighted the importance of training line managers and strengthening compliance systems as the reforms continue.
With changes coming into force at different stages, keeping on top of the timetable will be key.
