Employment Rights Act 2025 - your questions answered

Thursday 16 April 2026
14:00 to 15:00

The Employment Rights Act is beginning to reshape how UK employers manage their workforce. From six-month unfair dismissal protection and day one paternity and parental leave to SSP reforms and new obligations around flexible working and sexual harassment, the impact is wide-ranging. 

While some of these changes are already in force, many businesses are still grappling with what they mean in practice and scratching their heads as to whether or not their policies, procedures, and managers are ready. 

Sound familiar? Join WorkNest’s Employment Law and HR experts for a live, interactive webinar where we’ll tackle your questions in real time. 

If you’re responsible for HR or employment law compliance and still have queries, concerns or grey areas, this is a session you won’t want to miss. 

A webinar shaped by your questions

This isn’t a typical death by PowerPoint presentation. It’s an open forum to ask about the Employment Rights Act and get expert advice on any areas of uncertainty, as well as the specific challenges you’re facing or anticipating. 

Simply submit your question(s) in advance when registering and we’ll address them live. 

During the session, our expert hosts will: 

  • Discuss the most common issues employers are raising 
  • Delve into areas of uncertainty and risk 
  • Answer as many of your questions as possible 
  • Take live questions on the day 

Expect expert insight, practical guidance, and an honest discussion about what these reforms mean for employers. 

Key topics likely to come up

  • Changes to unfair dismissal rights and what this means for probation periods 
  • Alterations to statutory sick pay eligibility 
  • New expectations around flexible working requests 
  • Updates to family-friendly rights 
  • Practical steps employers should be taking to stay compliant 

And of course, anything else you want answered.
