ERA 2025: reps' toolkit 19 0 Claire O'Brien / Thursday, September 3, 2026 / Categories: News The Employment Rights Act 2025 (ERA) introduces a wave of new rights and strengthens existing ones.

This guide gives you an overview of the key reforms and helps you get ready. The TUC has created toolkits for each of the new rights; you can view these through the following link Employment Rights Toolkit Print
