The Employment Rights Bill 2025 marks one of the most significant updates to UK employment law in recent years.
About this Event

After months of speculation and some surprising amendments, details of the most profound employment law changes in a generation have now been confirmed.

The Employment Law & HR Team at Hay & Kilner will guide you through the significant reforms under the Employment Rights Act. In particular, through their unique roleplay scenarios, we will explore:

  • changes to the law on unfair dismissal, how it will work and what organisations need to be aware of
  • best practice under the new regime and the steps organisations can take to prepare
  • increased risks in the employment tribunal

The team at Hay and Kilner will also provide details of other key developments including reforms to sick pay, flexible working, union recognition and zero-hour contracts.

There will be an opportunity for open Q&A / feedback as well during this session.

This session will be held at the offices of Hay & Kilner LLP, The Lumen, St James’ Boulevard, Newcastle Helix, Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 5BZ


There will be a further session in Sunderland imminently, should members not be able to attend this specific session.
What do I wear to a Chamber event: We don’t have a dress code, but we suggest dressing as if meeting new clients. Your comfort is key.

Behaviour and conduct: our events create an inclusive space for individuals and organisations to meet, where we expect all our attendees to behave with courtesy and respect, to both each other and Chamber colleagues.
