What is the Employment Rights Act?
The Employment Rights Act 2025 updates existing employment law and introduces new statutory rights for workers in Great Britain. It received Royal Assent on 18 December 2025 and is being rolled out in phases throughout 2026 and 2027. It affects every employer, whatever the size or sector, and covers statutory sick pay, unfair dismissal, harassment, zero-hours contracts, tipping and trade union rights.
Changes already in force include day-one Statutory Sick Pay, day-one paternity and unpaid parental leave, whistleblowing protection for sexual harassment disclosures, and a 6-month Employment Tribunal time limit. From 30 October 2026, employers must take “all reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment and become liable for harassment of staff by third parties. From 1 January 2027, employees will need only 6 months’ service to claim unfair dismissal.
This bundle helps your staff and managers understand the key areas of employment law changing under the Act, including sickness absence, harassment, whistleblowing and probationary periods.
While our training won’t make your business automatically compliant, it provides a crucial foundation for awareness. Educating your workforce now can reduce future risks, improve communication around workplace rights, and support a more confident, informed response to the new law.
In short, this bundle is your proactive step toward navigating Great Britain’s most significant workplace reform in a generation, with clarity, confidence, and care.

Training isn’t a legal requirement in itself, but it is one of the steps the EHRC points employers towards when preventing harassment, and from 30 October 2026 employers must show they took “all reasonable steps”. Tribunals also look at how current training is, so it needs refreshing and completion records need keeping. With a 6-month tribunal time limit, awareness training also helps managers handle conversations and keep records consistently.
