Royal Assent is due to take place today, at which point the Bill becomes an Act of Parliament – the Employment Rights Act 2025. This signals meaningful change for workers across the UK as the new legislation strengthens key workplace protections and reflects a growing focus on fairness, security, and modern employment standards.   

Our legal experts at Legal Connect have prepared a webinar which discusses the changes being tabled on the lead up to the Bill reaching Royal Assent, and when these will be rolled out.
