What is the Employment Rights Bill?

Come join us at Reigate & Banstead Borough Council to learn all about the Employment Rights Bill! Hear from David Seals, a solicitor from Downs Law, who will walk you through The Employment Rights Bill.

The Bill is expected to take effect in Autumn 2026 and includes 28 individual reforms, including workers having the right to sick pay, parental leave, bereavement leave and protection from unfair dismissal from the first day of a job. It also proposes major changes to workplace harassment law, flexible working rules, how zero/low hours contracts work and will introduce extra protections for pregnant women and new mothers.
