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

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 Samantha Gallagher, VP of Strategic Risk & Compliance at Harri, and Mark Callaghan, Senior Associate at Littler UK, 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.

In this session, you'll learn:

• 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 exposed most.
• 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.

Who should attend: HR, People, Operations, Legal, and Finance leaders responsible for workforce management and compliance across UK hospitality, leisure, and multi-site venues.
