Employment Rights Act 2025 – What SME Founders Need to Know

FREE 90-minute practical seminar | Limited spaces

​​The biggest shake-up to UK employment law in a generation is already underway.

​​Most business owners haven’t clocked the impact yet. But they will – when it hits their payroll, their probation processes, and their tribunal risk.

​​This free webinar cuts through the noise and gives you what you actually need: clarity, deadlines, and an action plan.

​​What you’ll learn

​​In 90 minutes, you’ll get a clear breakdown of what’s changing, when it kicks in, and what you need to do about it.

​​We’ll cover:

1. ​​The 5 biggest changes that directly affect SMEs – and why they matter to your bottom line
2. ​​Key implementation dates across 2026–2027, so nothing catches you off guard
3. ​​The 6-month unfair dismissal rule – what it means for probation, performance management, and exits
4. ​​Day one rights – new entitlements from day one of employment and how to avoid accidental breaches
5. ​​Statutory Sick Pay changes – lower threshold, new eligibility, and what it means for your absence processes
6. ​​Harassment and third-party liability – what “all reasonable steps” actually looks like for a small business
7. ​​The effective end of fire & rehire – and what to do instead when you need to change terms
8. ​​Common SME mistakes that lead to tribunal claims, settlement payouts, and reputational damage

​​What makes this different

​​This is not a legal lecture. It’s a practical, founder-friendly session built for people who don’t have time to wade through 150 pages of legislation.

​​You’ll leave with:

1. ​​A clear action plan broken into immediate, medium-term, and 2027 priorities
2. ​​Practical examples and worked scenarios relevant to businesses like yours
3. ​Clarity on what needs fixing now vs what can wait
4. ​​A realistic view of risk, cost, and commercial trade-offs
