Course Details

The Employment Rights Act 2025 has been billed as the biggest change to employment law in a generation. Whether or not that is correct, it certainly contains major change. By the time of this session several parts of the Act will have come into force, but there is still major change to come in 2027. Anyone who manages people, or is responsible for governance, must know about the Act.


In addition, case rulings are made which change the way we understand the law. An update on recent cases is important to explore this understanding, and to learn from the situations other organisations have faced.


In this session Kathy Daniels will cover the following topics:


  • Why we have the Employment Rights Act 2025
  • What still needs to happen before we know all the detail of the Act
  • What has already changed
  • What is going to change in 2027
  • What we can learn from recent case law rulings



By attending this session, you will be able to advise your organisation on what they need to do to be compliant with the Employment Rights Act 2025.


This session will be of interest to anyone who manages people, business owners, those who are involved in governance and compliance.


Course level: Intermediate / Advanced / Need to know
 (Not a Foundation session or for anyone who does not have a solid grounding in the fundamental principles, terminology and concepts.)
