UK Government Guaranteed Hours Reform implementation
Friday 1st January, 2027
The UK Government is implementing Guaranteed Hours Reform under the Employment Rights Act, creating new legal protections for zero‑ and low‑hours workers—right to be offered minimum guaranteed hours, reasonable notice of shifts, and compensation for short‑notice cancellations—with detailed rules set by secondary regulations and phased in during 2026–2027. This gives Lego’s PR team a chance to talk about workforce stability and fair scheduling in the UK supply chain and retail workforce, as the reforms will affect hourly workers in stores, distribution centres and third‑party manufacturing partners.
Why have we flagged this?
Strong alignment — the reform directly affects hourly store, distribution and partner workers in the UK, so Lego can credibly comment on fair scheduling, announce internal policy changes, or run campaigns highlighting workforce wellbeing across its UK retail and supply chain.
