Employment Rights Act 2025 Hub is now live!


The Employment Rights Act 2025 is now law — and some of the biggest changes start landing from April 2026. Now’s the time to get ahead and start preparing.

 

As an employer, staying on top of HR and compliance is essential - especially with the Employment Rights Act 2025 introducing major changes over the next two years.

 

To help, our Partner Citation has created a FREE resource: The Employment Rights Act 2025 Hub – a one stop shop that brings together all the key updates, timelines, and practical steps employers need to prepare. It summarises what’s changing, what’s coming first, and the essential actions businesses should be considering now.


Inside, you’ll find insight on:

 

  • Unfair dismissal – what’s changing and what to review in your processes 
  • Zero-hours reforms – emerging requirements and how to prepare ahead of Regulations 
  • SSP reforms from April 2026 – what’s changing and what to budget for 
  • Harassment prevention duties – increased expectations on “reasonable steps” and managing third-party risk 
  • Fair Work Agency – stronger enforcement powers and what that means for compliance 
  • A clear timeline of expected changes across 2026–2027

This week, we published our annual ‘Size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England’ report . It provides a comprehensive overview of the size and composition of the adult social care workforce and includes information relating to workforce supply and demand, international recruitment, and statistics on the wider economy. Read more about the report in the workforce intelligence section below. The Government is seeking views on reforms to zero hours and similar contracts to implement measures in the Employment Rights Act 2025 to end one-sided flexibility. The consultation is your opportunity to share feedback on how the reforms, including the right to guaranteed hours, reasonable notice, and short notice payments, should be implemented and ensure that the views of the adult social care sector are represented. The consultation closes on Tuesday 25 August at 23:59. You can read the impact assessments on the reforms to inform your response : Impact assessment: Right to Guaranteed Hours and Impact assessment: ZHC - Right to Reasonable Notice of Shift Patterns and Payment for Shifts Cancelled, Moved or Curtailed at Short Notice
