Employment Rights Act 2025

The Employment Rights Act 2025 is being introduced in stages throughout 2026 and 2027. The next major change will happen on 6 April 2026, when ‘day one’ rights take effect. The Fair Work Agency (FWA) will also be introduced, a new government body responsible for enforcing employment rights under the new Act.

With payroll becoming increasingly complex, year-end payroll planning is essential to ensuring compliance, preventing errors, and maintaining employee trust.

As you reconcile your payroll records and review employee details, make sure to include these three key tasks to your year-end payroll checklist.
