    Employment Rights Act 2025: Your October 2026 update

    Date: Thursday 17th September

    Location: Online, Microsoft Teams

    Time: 10am – 11am

    Price: FREE

    With the first wave of Employment Rights Act changes already in motion, the next phase is fast approaching. This September, we’re bringing you the essential update on what’s landing from October 2026 and into 2027, including what your business needs to do right now to stay ahead.

    As implementation continues, the most impactful changes are still to come. From October 2026, a series of major reforms take effect, with further significant changes following in January 2027. The time to prepare is now and this webinar will guide you through where to start.

    Join Heidi Wadsworth, Head of Learning Development at Reality HR and Alex Harper, Senior Employment Solicitor at Herrington Carmichael as they cover the most critical changes coming up and what you need to do to prepare for each one:

    • Sexual harassment duty: The bar rises to taking all reasonable steps to prevent harassment, not just reasonable steps. Documentation and training will be critical
    • Third-party harassment: Employers will become liable for harassment of their employees by customers, clients and suppliers. This will apply to all types of harassment, unless they have taken reasonable steps to prevent it happening
    • Extended tribunal time limits: Employees will have six months (up from three) to bring claims, increasing your risk exposure for historic issues
    • Trade Union changes:  There will be a new duty for employers to inform workers of their right to join a trade union, along with other changes to TU access and rights for representatives
    • Looking ahead to January 2027: We’ll also briefly touch on the major changes coming early next year – including unfair dismissal reforms, fire and rehire restrictions, and new rights for zero and low-hours workers
