The Employment Rights Act 2025 will reform Statutory Sick Pay, extending eligibility to 1.3 million low-paid workers and increasing demands on both HR and payroll teams. This webinar explores preparing for SSP changes, managing rising absence levels, mitigating cost and compliance risk, and embedding fair, evidence-based wellbeing approaches to improve performance and reintegration.  

Our panel will explore:

  • What you need to know about upcoming reforms to Statutory Sick Pay and what they mean in practice
  • How the reforms will impact payroll processes, including removal of waiting days, transitional periods and newly entitled workers
  • The positive impact that a proactive absence management framework can have on engagement and performance  
  • How to embed an effective, fair and compassionate wellbeing strategy to support sustainable reintegration into work
