Enrol on the NEW GTi course to learn how ‘The Employment Rights Act 2025’ impacts beauty and hair salons

The Employment Rights Act 2025 represents one of the most significant changes to UK employment law in years, bringing key rights and protections into place much earlier in employment than before. To support salon employers in understanding and adapting to these changes, Beauty Guild has introduced the new GTi ‘The Employment Rights Act 2025 for Beauty and Hair Salons’ course.

Completed online, the course is delivered across nine focused modules and provides practical, salon-specific guidance on how the Employment Rights Act 2025 affects day-to-day salon management. You’ll learn what you need to have in place to remain fair, consistent, and legally compliant—and on completion, you’ll gain 2 CPD points.

In this course, you’ll cover:

• What’s changing in the Employment Rights Act 2025, when the new rules come into force, and what it means for salons from day one.
• How to handle predictable-hours requests fairly and consistently (including zero-hours contracts).
• What day-one statutory sick pay could mean for you, and how to manage absence without added risk.
• How to manage maternity and family-related rights with the right processes to reduce discrimination risk.
• What earlier unfair dismissal protection means for probation - and how to run probation fairly.
• How to check employment status (employee/worker/self-employed) and avoid costly misclassification.
• How to manage flexible working requests as a day-one right using a compliant process.
• Key compliance risks like changing terms, holiday pay, and “fire and rehire”- and why documentation matters.
• A downloadable salon compliance action plan to help you prepare for phased changes across 2026–2027.
