The Employment Rights Act: A masterclass

Overview

The Employment Rights Act represents one of the most significant overhauls of UK employment law in decades.

Although many of the individual legal changes are straightforward on paper, implementing them effectively through policies, processes, training, and engagement can be complex and resource intensive.

Join Acas and experts from Aaron and Partners Solicitors, Socotec and the African Business Association as we examine recent legal changes and sense check what they mean for employers. We will also look forward to imminent changes and how employers can plan wisely for reforms still to come.
