Navigating the Employment Rights Bill: What Employers Need to Know

The Employment Rights Bill, introduced in October 2024, aims to modernise employment law and strengthen workers' rights.  Key changes include extending unfair dismissal protection to day one of employment, limiting "fire and rehire" practices, and requiring employers to offer guaranteed hours contracts. The bill also enhances protection against harassment, particularly sexual harassment, and introduces reforms to trade union legislation. Many provisions are expected to come into force in 2026, with some taking effect even later. 

This 1 hour webinar is aimed at any organisation that employs people, to give an update on the key points and timeframes of the legislation and what actions to take.

Jane Taylor, Senior Business Advisor – Workforce Development, GM Business Growth Hub
Emma Butterworth, Partner & Employment Law Specialist, Harrison Drury Solicitors
