Employment Rights Bill Update: Supporting You Through Legislative Uncertainty

Staying on top of employment law changes can feel daunting – especially with the Employment Rights Bill still under debate. Bright Contracts is here to support you through this legislative uncertainty, helping you feel calm and confident about upcoming changes.

Current Status

The Employment Rights Bill is currently going through parliamentary "ping pong" between the House of Commons and House of Lords, with key unresolved issues including unfair dismissal rights, industrial action, and zero-hours contracts.

The Bill isn’t law yet, so don’t rush into making changes. Preparing updates now based on proposals could lead to multiple revisions, wasted resources, confusion, and even compliance breaches.

Support from Bright Contracts

Legislative changes can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. We are closely monitoring the Bill’s progress and are preparing revisions, resources, and guidance, so you can adapt quickly after the legislation receives Royal Assent.

You will have access to clear, actionable updates and practical advice on key changes – and you can reach out for clarification and support whenever needed.
