Employment Rights Act Health Check: Is Your Business Ready for Employment Law Changes?

Employer reviewing Employment Rights Act changes using Burnetts Employment Rights Act Health Check

The Employment Rights Act is bringing significant changes for employers, with some reforms already underway and others expected to be introduced over the coming months and years.

For many businesses, understanding which changes are relevant to them – and when action may be needed – can feel overwhelming. That is why we have developed our free Employment Rights Act Health Check.

What is the Employment Rights Act Health Check?

Our Employment Rights Act Health Check is a simple online tool designed to help employers identify which areas of the legislation are most likely to affect their organisation.

By answering a series of straightforward questions, employers can gain a clearer understanding of the potential impact of the reforms and the practical steps they may wish to consider.

Why employers should start preparing now

The Employment Rights Act represents one of the most significant programmes of employment law reform in recent years.

The changes cover a wide range of employment issues, including unfair dismissal rights, statutory sick pay, family-friendly rights, workplace protections and other employment law obligations.

While not all changes will take effect at the same time, employers who plan for things properly are likely to be in a stronger position than those who wait until new requirements come into force.

Who is the Health Check for?

Our Health Check has been designed for:

  • Business owners
  • Directors and senior leaders
  • HR professionals
  • Managers responsible for people and employment matters

Whether you employ a small team or a large workforce, our Health Check can help you understand where the Employment Rights Act may have the greatest impact on your business.
