The Employment Rights Act 2025 reshapes employment law more profoundly than any statute for a generation. This tenth edition covers all of it: the six-month qualifying period for unfair dismissal, the end of the cap on compensatory awards, guaranteed-hours offers for zero-hours workers, new automatic unfair dismissal rules on fire and rehire, sick pay and parental leave from day one, six-month tribunal time limits, and a tougher duty to prevent harassment. Where a provision isn't yet in force, the book says when it will be.
