Employment Rights Act overview

Following months of consultation, amendment and parliamentary scrutiny, the Employment Rights Bill passed through parliament in December and is now law as the Employment Rights Act. It brings significant changes that will likely impact your care business. 


To help you get ready for what’s coming, OACP Members are invited to attend a free webinar on Wednesday 25 February at 1.30 pm, hosted by our partner Citation, where Associate speaker, Flora Neville, will give you practical guidance on what the new law means for your business and the steps you should take now to get ready for 2026. 

She’ll cover: 

  • An overview of the Employment Rights Act and its key changes 
  • How flexible working regulations will be affected 
  • New rights and protections for employees 
  • How reforms to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) will work in practice 
  • The cost implications of the Employment Rights Act for employers 
  • Practical steps you should take today to get prepared 

And so much more. 

So, if you’re unsure what the upcoming changes mean or how they’ll work in practice, this is your chance to get up to speed.
