Preparing Care Homes for the Employment Rights Bill
30/03/26
The Employment Rights Bill represents one of the most significant changes to UK employment law in recent years. For care homes, these changes are expected to have a considerable financial impact.
Rising staffing costs, reduced flexibility in zero-hours contracts, and major compliance updates mean that care home owners and directors need to be well-prepared.
Accountants can provide strategic support to help care homes navigate these changes. At mgr, we offer practical guidance and assistance through:
- Forecast modelling to anticipate financial impact
- Cashflow and funding planning to maintain operational stability
- Employment contract and policy reviews to ensure compliance
- Scenario planning to assess different outcomes
- Ongoing advisory to respond to evolving regulatory requirements
Care homes already face significant pressures, and the Employment Rights Bill will add further challenges. Working closely with accountants now allows care providers to manage risks effectively and prepare for the next phase of sector developments.
