Employment Rights Act 2025: October 2026 compliance update | Swindon
A practical, no jargon, in-person legal update.
October 2026 brings some of the most significant changes yet under the Employment Rights Act 2025. From tribunal time limits, and new harassment prevention duties, to a fresh wave of trade union rights, HR teams have a narrow window to get policies, training, and processes in order. There is also the big January 2027 change to prepare for, which includes the new 6-month qualifying period for unfair dismissal rights, as well as the maximum compensation cap being removed.
RWK Goodman’s employment and immigration team in partnership with specialist HR recruiter Henlee Resourcing are delighted to bring you a practical, no jargon, in-person legal update. Cutting through the legal detail, this interactive session will focus on what actually changes for HR, and the steps needed to be compliant when the changes land this October and into 2027.
What you’ll take away:
- A clear breakdown of the 2026 and 2027 changes and what they mean in practice
- Guidance on updating policies, contracts, and training to close compliance gaps
- A practical risk checklist for HR and People teams to work through
- The opportunity to put your questions directly to our employment law specialists
