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.

Zero hour workers

12 November 2026, 9:30am - 9:45am

During 2027, new rights will be introduced for agency workers, employees on zero-hour contracts and employees on “low” hours contracts including the right to be offered guaranteed minimum working hours (under some conditions). Such workers will also have the right to reasonable notice of shifts, shift cancellations and changes to shifts, and to be paid if shifts are changed or cancelled at short notice. These new rules are very complicated and have wide implications for all employers.

Rebecca Berry, Managing Associate in our employment team, and Abigail McKean, Senior Knowledge Lawyer, will explain the current position and what employers should be doing now to prepare.
