The Kent Law Firm Helping Employers To Navigate The Biggest Shake Up in Employment Law in a Generation

The Employment Rights Act, which came into law in December 2025, represents the most significant employment law reform package in decades. Its scope is wide, its ambition is high, and its impact on employers will be profound.

For businesses, this is not a single change — it is a programme of reform, with new rights and obligations introduced in phases between late 2025 and 2027. With the next phase due from April 2026, employers must act now to remain compliant and safeguard their employees and their businesses.

Employers also need to start planning ahead for the later phases to ensure they are best-placed to manage risk, maintain compliance, and adapt their workforce strategies.

FREE Employment Law webinar for employers and HR teams

Whitehead Monckton, a leading law firm for Kent and the South East, and HR specialists Eclipse HR, offer employers a free webinar, where Employment Law specialist Antonio Fletcher and Senior HR Consultant Veronica Fox will break down the key changes and
milestones.

From day-one rights and unfair dismissal to strong protections for pregnant workers and families, from changes to zero-hours contract rules to preventing sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace, two of Kent’s best-known employment law experts will explain in plain English what’s changing, when, and what employers and HR professionals need to do about it.

The 1.25-hour webinar is designed to give employers a clear timetable, an understanding of the implications of each change, and an opportunity to put their questions to the expert panel.
