The Employment Rights Act 2025: What UK Hospitality Must Do Next

To help prepare for the 2026/2027 ERA 2025 changes, Harri and Littler are hosting a focused deep dive into what the upcoming changes mean for your business.

Thursday 8 October 2026

1:00PM BST

As the Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces the biggest shift in UK labour law in 25 years, unannounced Fair Work Agency audits, extended 6-month tribunal windows, and new day-one worker rights are rewriting the rules of workforce management. For multi-site hospitality operators, getting compliance wrong is no longer just a legal risk – it is an operational one.

Join Mark Callaghan, Senior Associate and Samantha Gallagher, VP of Strategic Risk & Compliance at Harri, for a practical, no-nonsense look at what is changing, who it applies to, and how to build an audit-ready operational framework without slowing down venue operations.

Key Learning Objectives:

  • The ERA 2025 timeline: What key milestones mean for your venues, from Day One rights to harassment duties and unfair dismissal rules.
  • Extended liability: How the 6-month tribunal claim window changes your risk exposure and record-keeping duties across sites.
  • FWA audit readiness: What unannounced inspections look like in practice, and where operators are most exposed.
  • Multi-site consistency: Why operational gaps between venues create hidden legal liabilities.
  • Automated compliance: How technology strengthens legal defensibility and closes manual floor-level gaps.
  • Immediate actions: Practical steps you can take today to protect operations before enforcement begins.
