Employment regulation update April 2026

If you’re a UK business owner wondering what the Employment Rights Act 2025 means for your company, this video gives you a clear, practical overview of the key employment law changes coming in for employers, in particular those changes now in force from April 2026.

Filmed as a real Hybrid Legal team session, our client partners sit down with our in-house employment law expert, Sally Humphreys, to ask the same questions they are hearing from SME clients every day.

In plain English, the team talks through the main issues SMEs need to be aware of, including probation periods, unfair dismissal, statutory sick pay, flexible working, workplace harassment, recruitment, documentation and the importance of having the right HR processes in place.

It is designed to help busy employers cut through the noise, understand what matters most, and feel more confident about the steps they should be taking now.
