Is Your HR System Ready for the Employment Rights Act 2025? 8 Changes Every Employer Needs to Know

The Employment Rights Act 2025 just introduced the biggest shake-up to UK employment law in a generation and if you're running a growing business, "roughly compliant" isn't going to cut it anymore. The new Fair Work Agency has real teeth: inspection powers, financial penalties and zero patience for spreadsheets and email trails. In this webinar, Ewen Bonnyman (Business Operations Lead, MJV Consulting) and Tom Romer (Partner Account Manager, Breathe HR) break down exactly what's changed, what it means day-to-day, and how the right HR system takes the pressure off. 🔑 What we cover: ✅ SSP from Day One – no more 3-day wait or lower earnings limit ✅ Holiday Records – Six-Year Retention – why spreadsheets can't evidence this anymore ✅ The Fair Work Agency – the new single enforcement body, and what it can do to you ✅ Day-One Paternity & Parental Leave – no qualifying period, no excuses ✅ Bereaved Partners Leave – a new 52-week entitlement, handled sensitively ✅ Whistleblowing & Sexual Harassment – now a standalone protected disclosure ✅ Collective Redundancy – the protective award has doubled to 180 days' pay ✅ Minimum Wage Increases – updated NLW/NMW thresholds from April 2026 💬 Growing fast and worried your HR processes haven't kept pace? That's exactly where this bites hardest — the busier you get, the easier it is for a policy to go stale or a record to fall through the cracks. This is where an HR system like Breathe makes the difference between claiming compliance and proving it. 👉 Ready to take the compliance pressure off? 1.
