The Employment Rights Act will be introduced in phases, with significant reforms taking effect over the coming months and into 2027. Understanding when changes land is just as important as understanding what is changing.
To help plan ahead, we’ve created a clear, practical timeline outlining the key milestones and implementation dates.

Once you have reviewed the timeline, the next step is understanding how these changes apply to your organisation specifically. Our ERA Compliance Review is a complimentary, focused, one-to-one session designed to assess your members’ current policies, identify risk areas, and provide clear, actionable next steps. Get in touch with us to book your Review.
