Government backs businesses with new guidance to get employment law changes right - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Creating a modern, fair and dynamic labour market is central to this Government's plan for growth. We want to make it easier for employers to find the people they need, while ensuring that work pays and feels secure. Through clear guidance, we are giving businesses the practical support they need to understand these changes and get things right first time."
"which will introduce reforms that form a fairer, base level of protections in line with those already in place in many workplaces across the country. This recognises that many employers understand the productivity and retention benefits of better rights at work. The rollout of this support comes ahead of changes taking place from later this year, pointing the UK's 1.4 million employers to business.gov.uk/employment-changes, a new online resource offering free practical guidance and support on what the changes mean and how to prepare."
The government has launched an online resource at business.gov.uk/employment-changes to help 1.4 million UK employers prepare for upcoming employment law changes. The site will provide free practical guidance, clear timelines, summaries of key changes, actions to take, and links to additional guidelines. From April, Statutory Sick Pay becomes payable from the first day of sickness absence and new day-one rights will apply for parental and paternity leave. The Employment Rights Act 2025 establishes a fairer baseline of protections intended to improve fairness and security at work, boost productivity, strengthen retention, and support business success.
