Employment Rights Bill – Key Changes for Your Business

The Employment Rights Bill will touch almost every part of running your business. Most changes won’t start until 2027, but preparing now will save time, stress, and money later. Here’s what to know:

'Fire and Rehire’ Rules

Dismissing staff who refuse contract changes will usually be unfair unless there’s no other option.

Statutory Sick Pay

Pay starts from day one, no matter the salary.

Unfair Dismissal

The two-year qualifying period is being removed.

Probation Period

A new statutory probation will help you fairly assess new hires.

Sexual Harassment Protections

Take all reasonable steps to prevent harassment, including from customers or suppliers.

Zero-Hours Contracts

Staff get guaranteed hours, advance notice of shifts, and pay for last-minute cancellations.
