The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces phased reforms beginning in April to establish a fairer baseline of workplace protections. Statutory sick pay becomes payable from the first day of sickness absence and new "day one" rights will apply to parental and paternity leave. The rollout will continue over a two-year period to give employers time to adapt. A new online hub offers free, practical support for roughly 1.4 million employers, including timelines, summaries, actions and links to further guidance. The reforms aim to boost productivity, improve staff retention and support business growth.
