Employment Rights Act 2025: The Biggest Shakeup in UK Law Explained

Описание: The way we work has been revolutionised, but for a long time, the laws meant to protect us stayed stuck in the past. In this comprehensive deep-dive masterclass, we explore the Employment Rights Act 2025—the most significant overhaul of UK employment law in a generation.

This video provides an exhaustive breakdown of the landmark new law, divided into four key sections:

1. The Big Picture: Why this Act was created and how it aims to rebalance the relationship between employers and employees for the 21st century.

2. Pay and Hours: We look at the massive changes to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), including the removal of the three-day waiting period and the lower earnings limit. We also discuss the new right to guaranteed hours for those on zero-hours contracts, compensation for cancelled shifts, and new transparency rules for tips.

3. Control and Security: Understand your new rights regarding flexible working requests, the crackdown on the misuse of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in harassment cases, and strengthened protections for pregnant employees and those returning from parental leave.

4. Enforcement: A look at the powerful new government watchdog and the increased role of trade unions in ensuring these rules are actually followed.

This is a fundamental shift in worker protections designed to tackle the insecurity of the gig economy and give you more control over your working life. Whether you are an employee or an employer, this overview covers everything you need to know about the new foundation of rights and responsibilities in the UK.
