Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government on what date they plan to publish the revised implementation timetable for the Employment Rights Act 2025.

As set out in the Implementation Roadmap, the Employment Rights Act 2025 will be delivered in phases to give employees and employers time to prepare.

Following Royal Assent on 18 December 2025, the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Act 2023 was repealed. In February further trade union measures will commence, including repealing the majority of the Trade Union Act 2016.

Further measures will take effect in April 2026, including day one rights to statutory sick pay and paternity leave, and launch of the Fair Work Agency.

The Government remains committed to the Implementation Roadmap timelines and will provide further updates and support for employers and workers in early 2026.
