This Hot Topic explores the reforms in the forthcoming Employment Rights Act 2025. This forthcoming legislation is set to revolutionise employment law by establishing a day one right to claim unfair dismissal and introduce a new statutory probation period. We consider these reforms and what they will mean to an employer and how existing practices will need to change to mitigate risk.
