UK Employment Rights Act 2025
It is clear that this is going to be the most radical alteration of employment rights that the UK has seen for some time. We can help you, as an employer, navigate these key changes.
Now the Act has passed, certain amendments will have immediate effect, with several others coming into force in April 2026. Further changes will follow in October 2026 and into 2027. Employers should start considering which of these changes will be relevant for their organization and begin adapting employment practices and documentation accordingly. While the text of the Act is now final, consultations and additional regulations over the coming months will provide further clarification.
We are monitoring what is happening and will provide regular updates as changes take effect. We would encourage you to get in touch for bespoke advice and to discuss how you and your business can respond to these changes.
