Description
Where it applies: England, Scotland and Wales (not Northern Ireland). Employment law in Northern Ireland is separate, so this pack does not cover it.
The Employment Rights Act 2025 is bringing in big changes in stages through 2026 and 2027, including changes to unfair dismissal rights, statutory sick pay, family leave and flexible working. This pack turns the changes into a simple plan for a small business.
What’s included
- RuleKits_Employment_Rights_Act_Guide_2026-27.pdf – a 16-page plain-English guide with a dated timeline (each change labelled In force, Confirmed or Expected), an action list and a Sources page with the date we checked each source
- RuleKits_Employer_Action_Checklist.xlsx – an action checklist spreadsheet (24 actions with status, owner and done date) plus a filled-in example for a made-up business
- 8 editable Word templates: probation review form; probation outcome letters; sexual harassment prevention policy; harassment risk assessment and action plan; sickness absence and Statutory Sick Pay policy; family leave summary for staff; staff policy-update letter; training record log
- RuleKits_Employment_Pack_How_to_Use.pdf – a 4-page “How to use” guide
Who it’s for
Owners and managers of small businesses with 1 to 20 staff who do not have an HR department.
Updates
Many dates depend on regulations that are still being made. When a date or rule in the pack changes, we update it and email you the new version free of charge until 31 December 2027.
Instant download
Available straight after payment. At checkout you agree that the download can start straight away and that you then lose the 14-day right to cancel. Your rights if the pack is faulty are not affected.
This pack is general information to help you understand the rules. It is not legal advice. Check your own situation with Acas, GOV.UK or a qualified adviser. Rules can change; we update this pack when they do.
