The session is designed to bring clarity, reassurance and practical next steps around the Employment Rights Act 2025. The 90-minute seminar will take place at Cowgills, formerly IN Accountancy, in Hazel Grove on Wednesday 21 October 2026.
The event has been created for SMEs, charities and local employers who want to understand what has already changed this year, what lands on 30 October 2026, and what is expected in 2027, without the panic, fear-mongering or legal jargon.
With changes covering Statutory Sick Pay, family leave, whistleblowing protections, harassment duties, third-party harassment, trade union rights, tribunal time limits and future reforms to unfair dismissal, zero-hours contracts, bereavement leave, flexible working and NDAs, Cornerstone Resources says many employers are not ignoring the changes. They are simply overwhelmed by the amount of information around them.
Rob Birley, Co-Founder and Director at Cornerstone Resources, said:
“There is a lot of noise around employment law reform at the moment, especially with further October changes approaching.
“Our approach is no panic, no drama. Just pragmatic advice and sensible actions. This event is about giving local businesses the full picture in plain English, so they know what matters now, what can be planned for, and what they need to have in place.”
The free session will include lunch and networking from 12:00pm, followed by an employment law update and open Q&A with Rob and Nicci Birley...
