Conditions of Employment: Scotland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what guidance and support is available to businesses in Scotland to help ensure compliance with the Employment Rights Act.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The Employment Rights Act 2025 will be delivered gradually over a two-year period to give businesses time to prepare.
We are working in partnership with business organisations to build awareness about the changes and ensure there is practical support available.
We have also rolled out a new online resource offering practical guidance and support on what the changes mean and how to comply. All businesses and other employers in Scotland, Wales and England, can visit business.gov.uk/employment-changes to find clear timelines, a summary of key changes and actions to take, and links to additional guidance.
