Zero-hours consultation closes 25 August. SMEs should review now.

Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, the UK Government is consulting on guaranteed hours, reasonable notice of shifts and payment where shifts are cancelled, moved or curtailed at short notice.

Government analysis reported via BBC/GOV.UK RPC opinion places potential employer costs at £350m–£2.9bn annually. This is an estimate, not a settled forecast. Hospitality and retail are among sectors likely to feel the greatest impact.

Review zero- and low-hours arrangements: compare contracted, offered and worked hours; assess short-notice changes or cancellations; model staffing and cost effects; keep evidence; and respond by 25 August if relevant.

These proposals are not yet in force. Scope, figures, implementation dates and final rules remain subject to consultation, parliamentary processes and secondary legislation. This is not legal advice; do not change contracts solely because of the consultation.

🚨 INDIE PULSE | EMPLOYMENT LAW BRIEFING: 28 JULY 2026

Ministers have confirmed implementation dates for key measures under the Employment Rights Act 2025. This timeline represents a significant shift for UK SMEs.

KNOWLEDGE IS PROTECTION:

1. ERA 2025: UNFAIR DISMISSAL qualifying periods are confirmed for January 2027. Businesses must refine probation and disciplinary frameworks immediately to mitigate risk. Anti-harassment and trade union duties are scheduled for October 2026.

2. SUPPLY CHAIN COMPLIANCE: Liability for right-to-work checks expands to include contractors and agency staff from October 2026. Audit your labour supply chains to avoid severe penalties.

3. REASONABLE ADJUSTMENTS: A recent tribunal ruling confirms that 'camera-off' can be a reasonable adjustment. Blanket remote policies are now a legal risk; individual assessments are essential.

STRATEGIC ACTION:
Stay ahead of the legislative curve with our 2026 SME Compliance Checklist.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 "𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱" 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 🐾

We’ve all been there. It’s 7 PM on Sunday, and suddenly the "Monday Mountain" starts looking like Everest. You’re mentally scrolling through every email, every meeting, and every problem waiting for you at 9 AM.

Stop. Take a breath. Let’s break it down Ralph-style.

𝟭. 𝗗𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 "𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗺𝗽"
Write down every single thing on your mind. Don’t organize it yet: just get it out of your head and onto paper.

𝟮. 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀
Choose just three tasks for Monday. Not twenty. Three. Once those are done, the rest is a bonus.

𝟯. 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗽
Seriously. Put the screens away. Your brain needs an "off" switch to be ready for the "on" switch tomorrow.

At Indie People, we’re here to take the mountain off your shoulders. Whether it’s complex employee relations or setting up your first payroll, we handle the heavy lifting so you can actually enjoy your weekend.

Need a hand scaling your business without the stress? We’re just a message away.
