Employment Rights Act 2025: Your questions answered
The Employment Rights Act continues to raise important questions for employers, particularly around how the new rules will work in practice. From probation periods to dismissal processes, many organisations are still working through what the changes mean for them, day to day.
In this free 60-minute webinar, hosted by our sister company, WorkNest, Senior Employment Law Advisor Lyndsay Gourlay and HR Consultant Shaun Harper break down the key developments and respond directly to the questions raised during the live session – helping you cut through the uncertainty and focus on what matters most.
Catch up on demand today to hear expert answers, understand the implications, and ensure your organisation is prepared.
During the session, they explored key areas of concern, including:
- How unfair dismissal changes and new probation rules will affect your processes
- How SSP reforms will work in practice – especially alongside company sick pay and for zero-hour workers
- What new restrictions on zero-hour contracts mean for flexible workforces
- Whether you need to update contracts, policies, and employee documentation
- How strictly the new rules will be enforced, and what that means for employers
