The Employment Rights Act 2025 constitutes a major overhaul of UK workplace law, introducing a phased implementation of enhanced worker protections and increased job security through 2027. Key changes include the immediate removal of restrictive trade union laws in early 2026, followed by day-one rights for sick pay and paternity leave, a strengthened duty to prevent sexual harassment, and a reduction in the unfair dismissal qualifying period to six months by January 2027. Detailed information regarding the implementation timeline is available at Gov.UK
