Most of what has been written about the Employment Rights Act 2025 says unfair dismissal becomes a day-one right. It does not. That changed in November 2025, and the qualifying period is six months. This guide is built on the Act as it was passed, the commencement regulations made under it, the government's own implementation timetable and Acas guidance - and it tells you plainly which parts are law, which parts have a date but are not law yet, and which parts are still being written.
Written for the person who does everything:
- Owners and directors of businesses with 1 to 49 employees, who write the rota, sign the contracts and would have to run a dismissal themselves
- Office and practice managers who administer pay, sickness and leave
- First-time line managers who need the rules without a law degree
- A dated compliance calendar: 6 April 2026, 1 October 2026, 30 October 2026, 1 January 2027 and beyond, with a clear mark against every row showing whether it is already law
- What is already binding: sick pay from the first day with no lower earnings limit, day-one paternity and parental leave, holiday records you must keep for six years, and the doubled protective award
- 1 October 2026: tribunal claims move from a three-month to a six-month window, and what that means for the records you keep
- 30 October 2026: the duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, and liability for harassment by customers and clients
- 1 January 2027: the six-month qualifying period, the trap in the transitional rule about when employment actually ends, probation that works under the new rules, the uncapped compensatory award, and the new limits on fire and rehire
- 2027: guaranteed hours, reasonable notice of shifts, flexible working, bereavement leave and confidentiality clauses - with an honest account of how much is still undecided
- The Fair Work Agency: what it enforces, how an investigation starts, and the self-correction rule that can stop a penalty before it is issued
- Ten small businesses working through ten real decisions, with the dates that settled them
- A 35-question FAQ, fifteen common mistakes, ten document skeletons, a key dates appendix and a 79-term glossary
The dates are already set. Find out which ones apply to you.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
