SUMMARY:Overview of the Employment Rights Act Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The upcoming changes to the Employment Rights Act represent one of the most significant shifts in UK employment law in recent years. \nJoin us\, alongside leading employment law specialists from Birketts LLP\, for a focused webinar exploring what these reforms mean for employers\, and how to prepare now. \nThis session will provide a clear overview of the proposed changes and the practical impact they could have on your business. \nKey Reforms We’ll Cover: \n•    Unfair dismissal qualifying period reduced from 2 years to 6 months\n•    Compensation cap removed and time limits extended for unfair dismissal claims.\n•    Stronger restrictions on changing contracts\, including “fire and rehire”\n•    Statutory sick pay expanded – no waiting days and no lower earnings limit\n•    Easier union recognition and industrial action\n•    Greater employer duty to prevent sexual harassment\n•    New working time and holiday record-keeping requirements\n•    Right to guaranteed hours for zero-hours workers\n•    Expanded parental rights and protections \nWhy This Matters\nThese changes significantly increase employer risk exposure and reduce flexibility in managing people and workforce change. \nBusinesses will need to: \n•    Review contracts and workplace policies\n•    Reassess dismissal and disciplinary procedures\n•    Strengthen compliance and documentation processes\n•    Enhance workplace culture and preventative measures \nThe businesses that prepare early will be best placed to manage risk and maintain control – secure your place to stay ahead of the changes. \nDate:   Wednesday 3 June 10.00am – 11.00am \nVirtual: Zoom Platform\nCost to attend: Free for Members and Non-Members £25.00 + VAT\n\nOnce you understand the changes\, the next question is practical: What do we need to do\, and when? Join us at our in-depth workshop on 9 July\, designed as an action-focused session for organisations that want to move from awareness to implementation.
