The Employment Rights Act 2025 reshapes key areas of employment law, with phased implementation continuing through 2026 and beyond.

It affects everyday management decisions including:

  • Performance management
  • Conduct and disciplinary action
  • Flexible working requests
  • Contractual changes
  • Probation processes
  • Dismissal risk

Managers do not need legal theory. They need practical judgement. This session focuses on real workplace scenarios, risk signals, and escalation points.

We break down the structure of the Act in simple, practical terms. No memorising legislation. Just understanding what it means.
