The Employment Rights Act (ERA) 2025 will make fundamental changes to the employment law landscape in the UK and will impact all employers.
The extent of the impact will depend on several factors, including the size and composition of your workforce, the sector in which you operate, levels of staff turnover, the processes and procedures you already have in place, and how generous your current terms and conditions of employment are.
In this latest Quarterly UK Labour & Employment Board Briefing, we set out brief details of the key ERA 2025 changes that we consider will be of strategic interest to the board and will be coming into force in October 2026, including the practical steps that employers should be taking now to prepare. We also include some further notes on the larger changes that are on the horizon for 2027 and beyond.
In this quarter’s Spotlight, we look beyond the detail of the legislation to examine what the ERA may mean on a more strategic level, both within the boardroom and across the organisation.
