Description

The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces several new day one rights for employees, which means these rights apply from the first day of employment without any length of service requirement.

Many organizations remain unaware of the operational traps built into these day-one regulations. This practical, fast-paced webinar exposes the hidden operational and financial risks hiding inside the new legislation. We will give you the exact strategies you need to safeguard your business, update your contracts, and protect your bottom line.
