 Hi Phillip, 

The Employment Rights Bill (ERB) introduces important changes to redundancy and collective consultation rules, with key reforms expected to take effect from April 2026.

Employers could soon face:
	Double the financial risk for failing to consult
	More situations triggering collective consultation 

Getting this wrong can be costly. For small employers, even one minor mistake could result in serious financial consequences.

To help you stay compliant and avoid costly mistakes, our Employment Law and HR team has produced a simple, practical factsheet covering: 
	Two key reforms coming next year (and one that’s happened recently)
	What these changes mean for your business
	Four practical steps you can take to get prepared

Download the factsheet here: https://wn.worknest.com/e/398692/ndancyreform-factsheet-microem/dknwjy/1982003131/h/l_6yCMqppY4ZdfOULHTPFj3o0WQ_Z-gklbnmUQQhgYk
