    Employment Rights Act: Your January 2027 update

    Date: Tuesday 19th January

    Time: 12pm – 1pm

    Location: Online, Microsoft Teams

    Price: FREE

    January 19th

    The Employment Rights Act 2025 is the biggest overhaul of UK employment law in a generation, and the next wave of changes takes effect in 2027.

    Join Heidi Wadsworth, Head of Learning & Development at Reality HR, and Alex Harper, Senior Employment Solicitor at Herrington Carmichael, for a complimentary online session giving you clear, practical guidance on what’s changing, what else is coming across the year ahead, and what your business needs to do now.

    What we’ll cover

    • Unfair dismissal reforms: The protection against unfair dismissal is reduced from the previous two-year qualifying period to six months with effect from 1st January 2027
    • Fire and rehire restrictions: New rules make it far harder to dismiss and re-engage staff on less favourable terms, with only narrow exceptions remaining lawful
    • Zero and low-hours workers: New rights to guaranteed hours reflecting regular working patterns, plus reasonable notice of shifts and compensation when shifts are cancelled or cut short at short notice
    • Flexible working: Amendments to how you respond to a flexible working request
    • Equality action plans: From April 2027 large employers must produce and publish action plans to reduce your gender pay gap and support employees experiencing menopause

    Who should attend? HR professionals, business owners, in-house legal teams and anyone responsible for employment policy, contracts or people management.
