If you have been keeping up with the news, you are probably already aware that Keir Starmer’s Government have recently unveiled the Employment Rights Bill.
They have promised that it will be a “once in a generation” change to our working lives, reshaping the relationship between employees and employers.
What is in the Bill?
The proposed bill includes 28 significant changes, but let’s focus on the key changes that could make a real difference in your experience in the workplace if the Bill is passed:
What’s next?
It is important to remember that this bill is still in the early stages. Before it becomes law, it will go through several discussions and debates in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
So, while these changes are exciting, there may still be amendments along the way.
The full details of what these changes will look like will only be clear once the Bill has been finalised and consultations are completed.
If the Bill is passed, we are unlikely to see many of the changes come into effect until 2026, so be aware that the impact will not be immediate.
