The Employment Rights Act lands in phases, and each phase touches a different part of your desk: day-one rights, guaranteed hours, shift notice, the umbrella market. Clients will ask what it means for their contractors and their temps. Have the answer ready before they do.
Every 2026-27 date that touches your desk, diarised
Each commencement date in the government's roadmap, in the calendar, with what changes for your placements on that day.
Temp and zero-hours clients flagged now, not in 2027
Know which clients run temps or variable hours, because guaranteed-hours and shift rules land on their desks first.
Contracts reviewed for shift-notice and cancellation pay
Terms of business and worker contracts checked for reasonable notice of shifts and payment for short-notice cancellations.
A two-minute client script ready for "what does this mean for us"
Plain words, per client type, that you can deliver on a call without looking anything up.
One person who owns tracking the next phase
A named owner who watches the regulations as they are made and updates the diary and the script.
Be the desk that already knew
