Employment Rights Act 2025: In-person Event [Chichester]

FREE 90-minute practical seminar | Limited spaces

​​The biggest shake-up to UK employment law in a generation is already underway.

​​Most business owners haven't clocked the impact yet. But they will – when it hits their payroll, their probation processes, and their tribunal risk.

​​This free, in-person seminar cuts through the noise and gives you what you actually need: clarity, deadlines, and an action plan.

​​What you'll learn

​​In 90 minutes, you'll get a clear breakdown of what's changing, when it kicks in, and what you need to do about it.

​​We'll cover:

  • ​​The 5 biggest changes that directly affect SMEs – and why they matter to your bottom line

  • ​​Key implementation dates across 2026–2027 so nothing catches you off guard

  • ​​The 6-month unfair dismissal rule – what it means for probation, performance management, and exits

  • ​​Day one rights – new entitlements from day one of employment and how to avoid accidental breaches

  • ​​Statutory Sick Pay changes – lower threshold, new eligibility, and what it means for your absence processes

  • ​​Harassment and third-party liability – what "all reasonable steps" actually looks like for a small business

  • ​​The effective end of fire & rehire – and what to do instead when you need to change terms

  • ​​Common SME mistakes that lead to tribunal claims, settlement payouts, and reputational damage

​​What makes this different

​​This is not a legal lecture. It's a practical, founder-friendly session built for people who don't have time to wade through 150 pages of legislation.

​​You'll leave with:

  • ​​A clear action plan broken into immediate, medium-term, and 2027 priorities

  • ​​Practical examples and worked scenarios relevant to businesses like yours

  • ​​Clarity on what needs fixing now vs what can wait

  • ​​A realistic view of risk, cost, and commercial trade-offs

​​Who should attend

  • ​​SME business owners and founders

  • ​​MDs and directors responsible for people decisions

  • ​​Anyone managing staff without an in-house HR function

​​If you employ people, this session is relevant.

​​Why attend

  • ​​It's free

  • ​​It will save you time, money, and stress

  • ​​You'll avoid costly mistakes that most SMEs don't see coming

  • ​​You'll be ahead of the majority of businesses before April 2026 hits

​​Booking details

  • ​​Free to attend

  • ​​Limited spaces – advance booking required

  • ​​Practical, jargon-free, and founder-focused

​​This session is about protecting your business while building better people practices – without drowning in policy or panic.

​​Early preparation = fewer problems later.
