Article summary

The government has published an implementation roadmap explaining how it will ready itself to put the Employment Rights Bill (ERB) into practice.

GOV.UK Press release: Implementing the Employment Rights Bill roadmap.

It confirms that certain measures will come into force swiftly following Royal Assent of the ERB, including:

  • the repeal of the majority of the Trade Union Act 2016 and the Strikes (Minimum Services Levels) Act 2023
  • safeguards against dismissal for participating in industrial action

For other measures, the roadmap details the principal actions needed before they can commence, namely:

  • consultation with employers, workers, trade unions, and other stakeholders (stakeholders) to determine the most effective route to achieve the intended changes
  • issuing guidance to support stakeholders and allowing time for people to familiarise themselves with it; this may comprise guidance or statutory Codes of Practice developed by government, by delivery partners such as Acas, or in collaboration with other organisations
  • support for Acas and other delivery partners, to ensure they have time to prepare, and
  • time for stakeholders to prepare...
