UK Government Unveils Roadmap for Employment Law Changes

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 1 – The UK Government's roadmap phases in reforms to benefit 15 million workers, ending zero-hours contracts and improving sick pay and parental leave by 2027, providing clarity for employers.

  • The UK Government published a comprehensive roadmap on 2025-07-04 to implement the Employment Rights Bill with key reforms set for 2026 and 2027.
  • The roadmap follows over 190 engagements with businesses and stakeholders during the last 12 months and plans further consultations into next year.
  • The Bill introduces measures including expanded flexible working access, enhanced harassment protections, end to fire-and-rehire practices, improved trade union rights, sick pay for 1.3 million low earners, and day one parental leave.
  • Peter Cheese, CEO of the CIPD, said the gradual introduction of the reforms will offer employers greater clarity and ample time to get ready for one of the most significant changes to workplace legislation in many years.
  • The reforms seek to enhance safeguards for nearly half of the UK workforce—approximately 15 million people—while raising living standards and promoting stronger cooperation between employers and unions through the removal of certain laws and new protections against unfair dismissal and industrial action.
