ERA bitesize webinars – key actions for employers

The employment law landscape is set to radically change over the next 12 months, as key provisions of the Employment Rights Act 2025 (ERA) come into force. These changes will impact how employers manage people, risk and cost and will require careful prior planning.

Our ERA bitesize webinar series gives you clear, practical guidance on what is changing and the steps you can take now to prepare. Each webinar lasts just 15 minutes and is led by a partner or managing associate from our employment team. 

By registering, you’ll be signed up to all six sessions. You can join as many or as few as you like.

Family friendly changes

17 September 2026, 9:30am - 9:45am

The ERA makes various changes to family friendly rights, including:

• Parental and paternity leave (becoming “day one” rights)

• Introduction of paternity leave for bereaved fathers/partners

• Strengthening of the rules on refusing flexible working requests

• Extension of the right to parental bereavement leave to include the loss of a pregnancy before 24 weeks and to cover the loss of members of a wider group

Lloyd Davey, Partner in our employment team, and Abigail McKean, Senior Knowledge Lawyer, will explain what is changing and the practical steps employers should take.
