How to prepare for the upcoming Employment Rights Act

25th September 2024

Heavily signposted before the election and initiated almost immediately via the King’s Speech, it is time to get ready for the impact of the Employment Rights Act once it passes through parliament.

We know what the expected changes are, the list is long. They include: a ban on some zero-hour contracts; the strengthening of statutory sick pay; dismissal protections; extra enforcement; additional day one rights; more flexible working facilitation; trade union enhancements and a move to a “genuine” living wage.

It is important now to get familiar with it all before it becomes law so that you are not caught out. To help, we have prepared a post-election impact hub which explains what’s coming in more detail and what you need to do. You can also download our whitepaper. Our expert advisers are here to help if you want to talk.

Our membership of Surrey Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in the growth of our business. It's opened many doors and so much of our new business can be tied back to a SCC introduction. We recommend joining the chambers to all of our micro/SME clients looking for funding, networking and brand awareness.

I was recently at the Surrey Chambers Power Breakfast at Sandown Park Racecourse what a fantastic venue and breakfast. There was a good group of people, all with ‘can do’ attitudes as well as an engaging speaker. I obtained a number of new contacts and received further networking opportunities. I also felt that I had come from the breakfast having learnt something new which is a big bonus!

I attended the Heathrow Summit conference and had the great good fortune of spending some time with Gary Hayes & Andy Willmott who were a real credit to the Chamber. If anyone is wondering whether being a Chamber member could help their business know this, they helped me with their knowledge of local contacts and we're in Cornwall! Thanks for your time fellas and keep up the good work!
