This course contains the use of Artificial Intelligence. The Employment Rights Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 18 December 2025 and is already reshaping how workplaces operate across the UK. With more than 30 major changes phased in over 2026 and 2027, this is legislation you cannot afford to ignore.
This course takes a different approach. Rather than walking you through the law clause by clause, we follow a fictional company, Hartwell Group, and five colleagues who engage with the Act from different angles. Niamh, the HR Manager, is your guide throughout. Marcus, a line manager navigating dismissal and probation; Priya, a part-time worker affected by the zero-hours reforms; Declan, a trade union representative; and Chloe, a senior manager dealing with the new harassment obligations.
Together, they cover the full scope of the Act in a way that is engaging, realistic and immediately applicable to your own workplace.
