Employment Law Update: A New ERA for Employment Law (Part 1)
With the Employment Rights Act (ERA) receiving Royal Assent just before Christmas, 2026 is shaping up to be a significant year from an employment law perspective. In our February PowerHour we will be focusing on the key changes coming into force in April 2026 which include:
- Changes to Statutory Sick Pay
- Family-friendly day-one rights
- Increase in redundancy protective awards
- Changes to trade union rights
We updated you on the recent cases and developments since the landmark ‘For Women Scotland’ case last year, consider the practical implications of these cases and what you need to be considering in terms of your existing policies and procedure.
