MHL Launches a Monthly Newsletter
Our October Employment Newsletter looks at the next key developments under the Employment Rights Act 2025 — and the dates employers need to have firmly on their radar.
30 October 2026: stronger sexual harassment prevention duties and new trade union workplace access rights.
1 January 2027: unfair dismissal protection moves from two years to just six months’ service.
We also cover what employers should be doing now — from reviewing policies and training managers to strengthening recruitment, probation, dismissal and harassment procedures.
The message is simple: don’t wait for the changes to arrive. Prepare now.
Read our latest newsletter for the key dates, practical steps and a quick preparation checklist.
