The UK Employment Rights Act: An Operational Guide for HR
The UK Employment Rights Act marks a massive "pendulum shift" in employment law. But here’s the reality for HR teams: compliance is no longer just about rewriting your company policies – it’s about how you operate day-to-day. If your processes aren't consistent, recorded, and evidenced across your entire workforce, your business faces significant risk.
In this 30-minute expert session featuring insights from Teamwheel and Factorial, we break down exactly what employers must do to prepare for the staged 2025/2026 rollout. You'll learn how to move beyond scattered spreadsheets, empower your line managers with the right tools, and build a truly audit-ready HR operation.
