The next phase of implementation of the Employment Rights Act reforms starts in October, with the extension to the time limits for bringing most tribunal claims rising from three to six months on 1 October. Other measures, relating to trade unions and anti-harassment duties, have been pushed back to 30 October. Our employment team provides an update on the current status in this week's Coffee Break, and a webinar series on the practical implications for employers of the changes starts on 22 September, beginning with a look at unfair dismissal rights.

Our immigration team explains how liability for breaches will extend to businesses that use contractors, agencies, platform workers and subcontractors, and not just to businesses with direct employees.
