A focus on Employment law changes 2026
Employment law changes are coming via the Employment Rights Bill (ERB), focusing on day-one rights, zero-hours contracts, fire-and-rehire, and trade unions, with key dates in late 2025 and 2026, introducing new protections, limiting employer flexibility, and expanding entitlements for sick pay, flexible working, and leave.
