Employment Law

At a recent Weymouth and Portland Chamber of Commerce event, Blanchards Bailey’s Employment Law specialist, Sophia Radford, outlined a series of significant changes that will impact employers and employees over the coming years. The session focused on the Employment Rights Act 2025 and a timeline of reforms starting from April 2026 through to 2027.

The presentation also highlighted the importance of taking a proactive approach. Employers are encouraged to review contracts, update policies, train staff, and prepare for changes well in advance to avoid risk and ensure compliance as new legislation comes into force.

This is a wide-ranging set of reforms that will affect businesses of all sizes. For a full breakdown of the changes, timelines, and practical guidance, you can view the complete presentation below.
