The government has released a timeline for expected “go-live” dates for many of the measures in the Employment Rights Bill, which is in the final stages of the parliamentary process. To save you having to trawl through yourselves, I’ve drafted a briefing document here.
Thankfully, two of the most impactful changes – the introduction of unfair dismissal rights from Day 1 of employment, and changes to zero hour contracts – aren’t likely to be introduced until 2027. But there are still alot of new measures going live between now and then.
The government will also release quite a few consultations during the rest of 2025 (details towards the end of the briefing document) so get involved if you can and give your feedback!
