The Employment Rights Act 2025 represents one of the most significant reforms of UK employment law in recent decades, introducing wide-ranging changes that will reshape workplace rights, employer obligations, and HR practice. With implementation taking place in phases throughout 2026 and 2027, employers, managers, and HR professionals, need to understand what the changes mean in practice and how best to prepare.

Hosted by the ICAS Area Network in collaboration with UHI, this informative update session will provide an overview of the latest developments under the Employment Rights Act 2025, including changes to statutory sick pay, family-related leave rights, workplace harassment duties, trade union reforms, employment tribunal time limits, and the role of the new Fair Work Agency. The session will highlight key implementation dates, emerging compliance requirements, and practical steps organisations can take to minimise legal risk and support good employment practice.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of:

• The main provisions of the Employment Rights Act 2025.
• Recent and upcoming legislative changes.
• The impact on employers, employees, and workplace policies.
• Key compliance and risk management considerations.
• Best practice for preparing organisations for future reforms.
