The Employment Rights Act 2025 became law in December and represents the biggest single update to employment law in a generation with the purpose of bringing enhanced rights for workers and employees.
With a number of the changes coming into effect as early as April, now is the time for employers to ensure that their contracts and policies reflect the new landscape and that they are aware of the scope of the changes and the differences in approach that will be necessary to remain legally compliant.
