This One Law is Changing UK workplaces- The Employment Rights Act 2025 explained, Part 2!

#employmentlaw #employmentrights #labour #labourparty #hr #law #tribunal #harassmentlaws #unfairdismissal #dismissal #equality In part two of the discussion on the Employment Rights Act, Trish is joined again by employment lawyer Joanna Sutton to break down the changes due from October 2026 and into 2027. They cover October 2026 reforms including tougher restrictions on “fire and rehire” (becoming automatically unfair dismissal in many cases, with limited exceptions such as serious financial difficulty), new employer liability for third-party harassment by customers/clients/contractors across all protected characteristics, and the doubling of employment tribunal time limits from three to six months. For 2027, they discuss the major shift to unfair dismissal rights, reducing the qualifying period from two years to six months (expected January 2027), with an anticipated increase in employees able to claim, and the importance of better probation management, documentation, and manager training. They also outline proposed zero-hours contract reforms (continued use permitted but with new rights such as offers of guaranteed hours based on regular working patterns, reasonable notice of shifts, and compensation for late cancellations), and mandatory equality action plans for employers with 250+ staff covering gender pay and menopause-related actions. The episode closes with a reminder that many details will be shaped through consultations and that businesses can engage in the process. 00:00 Welcome Back: Part 2 on the Employment Rights Act (What’s Coming After April 2026) 01:22 October 2026: Fire & Rehire Crackdown—When It Becomes Automatically Unfair Dismissal 05:13 October 2026: Third-Party Harassment—Employer Liability for Customers & Clients 10:21 October 2026: Tribunal Time Limits Double—From 3 Months to 6 Months 15:12 2027 ‘Biggie’: Unfair Dismissal Overhaul—Qualifying Period Cut to 6 Months 24:45 2027: Zero-Hours Contracts Reform—Guaranteed Hours, Shift Notice & Compensation 31:27 2027: Mandatory Menopause (and Equality) Action Plans for Large Employers 35:13 Wrap-Up: Consultations, What to Watch Next, and How to Get Advice 📬 Stay in the know: https://www.haylohr.com 📱 Follow us: Twitter/X: @haylohr TikTok: @trishinhr Instagram: @haylo_hr GET IN CONTACT https://www.haylohr.com/ Contact Joanna here- / joannaesutton 🎬 Other useful videos The Employment Rights Act Explained, Part 1    • This One Law Is Changing UK Workplaces- Th...   ACAS Guide to the Employment Rights Act 2025 • Acas Webinar - Employment Rights Act 2025 The Unemployment Rights Bill • Acas Webinar - Employment Rights Act 2025 How the Employment Rights Bill is progressing • How the Employment Rights Bill is progressing IMPORTANT INFORMATION: This video is published by Trish Hewitt of Haylo HR.
