Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the total regulatory cost to businesses resulting from the Employment Rights Act 2025, broken down by business size and measured in compliance hours per year.

The Government has published 29 Impact Assessments representing a comprehensive package of analysis on the impact of the Employment Rights Act: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/employment-rights-bill-impact-assessments. Each Impact Assessment considers how impacts may vary depending on business size and includes an estimation of the potential compliance costs.
