Employment Rights Act for Managers

The Employment Rights Act (ERA) introduces wide-ranging reforms affecting how managers handle sickness absence, family leave, performance, conduct, contract changes, scheduling and workplace behaviour. These changes apply from April 2026 through to 2027 and reshape many routine decisions that managers make. The course ensures managers are equipped to handle people issues fairly, lawfully and confidently under the ERA.
