With the latest tranche of Employment Rights Act 2025 changes fast approaching, HR professionals are busying themselves with preparations for the employment law changes taking effect in October 2026.
In this webinar, Brightmine editors Stephen Simpson and Zeba Sayed will outline the final preparations employers need to make for upcoming changes including:
- Expanded duty to take "all reasonable steps" to prevent sexual harassment
- Introduction of employer liability for third-party harassment
- New right of union access to workplace
- Requirement to provide workers with written statement of right to join trade union
- Extension of time limits for bringing tribunal claims
To help to keep HR professionals one step ahead, we will also cover what is happening in January 2027, when the next batch of Employment Rights Act 2025 reforms kick in:
- Reduction in unfair dismissal qualifying period from two years to six months
- Removal of unfair dismissal compensation cap
- Reform of rules on "fire and rehire"
The session will include a live Q&A.
