Our latest dashboard breaks down what's in the Employment Rights Bill and what's not, showing how these reforms will transform employment law.
The Employment Rights Bill was published on 10 October 2024. This introduced 28 significant reforms to a range of measures. Accompanying this, the government released a 'Next Steps to Make Work Pay' document, outlining plans for future reform. Amendments to the Bill have been made during its progress through parliament, and additional reforms have been added.
These sweeping changes are set to reshape the landscape of employment law. By topic, our dashboard clarifies the current legal position, how these reforms propose to change it, and what we know about the next steps in this process.
The Bill is now in its very final stages, with some outstanding areas of disagreement between the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Bill will not become law until the final wording has been agreed between the Commons and Lords.
On 1 July 2025 the government published a roadmap for the delivery of the Employment Rights Bill, ending speculation on potential implementation dates. The expected implementation dates in our dashboard are based on this roadmap.
