In this month’s law lab webinar, Rachel McKay and Lisa Byars from our employment team discussed the UK government's implementation roadmap, in which it has initiated a series of consultations on select reforms outlined in the Employment Rights Bill.
The first four consultations include:
- Enhanced dismissal protections for pregnant employees and new mothers
- Bereavement leave including pregnancy loss
- Duty to inform workers of right to join a union
- Trade union right of access
In our recent article, we also provided a summary of the first four consultations and key updates as the proposed changes move towards implementation.
If you would like to discuss any of the issues raised during the session, please reach out to our employment team, or visit our Employment Rights Act 2025 Hub to keep up to date with changes.
