Upcoming webinar: Employment Rights Act 2025 - a user's guide

Date: Thursday, 22 January 2026, 11am GMT

Royal Assent has finally been given and the Employment Rights Act 2025 has passed into law. But the devil is in the detail, and there is an awful lot of that in the legislation that HR professionals will now need to get to grips with.

In this webinar, employment law specialist Darren Newman sets out a road map to guide you safely through the implementation of the Act's many different strands - including what to look out for, and what not to forget.

Among the topics under discussion will be: 

  • Statutory sick pay 
  • New rights for trade unions
  • Fire and rehire 
  • Unfair dismissal and getting probationary periods right 
  • Third-party harassment liability 

Darren will be devoting a substantial portion of the 60-minute session to answering your questions.
