Employment Tribunal Time Limits Have Changed – Is Your Business Prepared?

From October 2026, the time limit for bringing Employment Tribunal claims in the UK has increased from three months to six months.

Does your business know how to:

Keep HR policies up to date with employment law changes?

Maintain accurate employee records?

Address workplace concerns promptly and fairly?

Ensure managers handle employee issues appropriately?

While the extended time limits give employees longer to bring many claims, employers should continue to address concerns early, follow fair procedures and maintain clear documentation.

A proactive approach to HR can make all the difference.

If your business needs support reviewing its HR practices or managing employee relations, now is a great time to take action and get in touch.

One win, two more shortlists.

Fresh from being named Fast Growth Business of the Year at the East Midlands Business of the Year Awards, we're proud to be shortlisted in two categories at The Business Desk's Growth Awards 2027:

- Scale Up of the Year (+£10m)
- Growth Through Acquisition.

Together, they tell the story of quite a year. Since November 2025, 17 firms have joined Nuvo. Turnover has grown from £16m to £43m. We've gone from 170 people to over 500, with offices from Aberdeen to the south coast of England.

But growth through acquisition is only worth it if it's good for the people involved. For the firms that join us, it means more support and room to grow. For their clients, it means access to a wider range of services and specialists across the Nuvo Network. For our people, it means more colleagues to learn from and more ways to build a career.

Thank you to The Business Desk, and good luck to everyone shortlisted alongside us.

If you're thinking about the future of your firm, we'd love to talk.

Fast Growth Business of the Year!

We’re delighted to share that Nuvo won the Fast Growth category at the East Midlands Business of the Year Awards - on Thursday last week.

This time last year, we were 170 people in 16 offices, turning over £16m. Today, we're over 500 people across 26 offices, and turnover is £43m.

But growth on its own isn't the point. The point is what it means for the businesses we work with. Accountancy, tax, audit, advisory, payroll, HR, hiring, company secretarial and legal support, all from one team that knows you and your business.

We're just as proud to be shortlisted for Employer of the Year, because growing fast only counts if your culture grows with it. None of this happens without our people. To everyone who's joined Nuvo this year, and everyone who made them feel at home, this one's yours.

Thank you to The Business Desk and the judges, and congratulations to every business shortlisted alongside us. The East Midlands is a brilliant place to build something.

If you're growing too, we'd love to hear where you're heading. Start a conversation here: https://nuvo.co.uk/discovery-call/

Some of our best introductions come from inside the group.
When Copper Swan needed HR support, their accountancy team at Nuvo introduced them to us. Katie took it from there.

Here's what Director Ben Lavin had to say:
"𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘒𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘙 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦.

Thank you, Ben, for the kind words. And thank you to Chris Littlewood at Nuvo Accountancy for the introduction.

When a business comes to us through the group, they already trust the people who introduced us. We take that seriously. Every referral is a chance to show what joined-up support really looks like.

Important Right to Work Changes Coming 1 October 2026

Does your organisation engage people beyond traditional employees?
Many businesses rely on casual staff, contractors, subcontractors, freelancers, or individuals sourced through online matching platforms. If that sounds familiar, there is a massive compliance shake-up you need to be aware of.

From 1 October 2026, the UK's Right to Work Scheme is expanding. It will be the biggest overhaul to workplace checks in decades, and it pushes liability far beyond traditional employee relationships.

At NuvoHR, we want to make these legal changes simple to understand. Here is what you need to know:
• It’s no longer just about your direct staff: You can no longer assume Right to Work checks are only for payroll employees. You must now ensure they are done for almost anyone performing work for you, including freelancers and agency workers
• The "Supply Chain" trap: Under new rules, your business could be held legally and financially liable if an illegal worker is found deep within your network of subcontractors.
• Beware of "imposter" risk: Organisations must have strict protocols to prove that the physical person turning up to do the job is the exact same person who passed the background check.
• The stakes are high: Failure to carry out the correct checks could leave your business exposed to significant compliance risks, including civil penalties of up to £60,000 per worker and the potential loss of sponsor licences.

How NuvoHR Can Help You

October is just around the corner, so updating your procurement processes, contracts, and hiring workflows needs to happen now.

We support businesses in navigating their Right to Work obligations and maintaining compliance. We can provide fast, secure, and compliant digital Right to Work checks, helping employers verify an individual's eligibility to work in the UK with confidence.

Whether you're recruiting direct employees or engaging external contractors, we can help ensure your checks are robust, safe, and fully compliant before the deadline hits.

As we reach the halfway point of the year, it’s a great time to check in on those annual leave calendars!

Spreading holidays throughout the year can make a real difference in helping to prevent burnout, recharge our batteries, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Here’s a look at what our team have been getting up to on their annual leave recently:

Alison - Adventuring along the stunning west coast of Scotland which included a few dips in the sea (very chilly!) .

Jess - Exploring the northeast of Scotland and enjoying the sandy beaches of Lossiemouth.

Elisha – Heading south for a family visit in Manchester, followed by a city break in historic York.

Katie - Soaking up the sunshine and making the most of the English heatwave, seeing Take That in concert again in Manchester, enjoying Ibiza with her family, visiting Croatia at the end of July and more locally, enjoying the air show in Farnborough.

Lucy - Trying her hand at fishing and enjoying some time by the water.

The World Health Organization recognises July as a month to prioritise self-care.

With much of the UK experiencing another heatwave, it's a timely reminder that self-care isn't just a nice-to-have, it's essential. Whether that means staying hydrated, taking regular breaks, adjusting your routine to avoid the hottest part of the day, or simply checking in on colleagues, small actions can make a big difference.

Self-care looks different for everyone. What helps one person to recharge may not work for someone else. The key is finding healthy habits and routines that support your own wellbeing, while creating workplaces where everyone feels empowered to do the same. Becoming familiar with the pillars of wellbeing can make it easier to recognise what works for you.

Here are six pillars of wellbeing every employer should encourage:
Physical Wellbeing – Prioritise movement, quality sleep, healthy eating, and regular breaks.
Mental Wellbeing – Encourage open conversations, reduce stigma, and create a psychologically safe workplace.
Social Wellbeing – Build strong relationships, encourage collaboration, and help employees feel connected.
Financial Wellbeing – Provide access to financial education, employee benefits, and support where possible.
Purpose & Career Wellbeing – Help employees understand how their work contributes to the organisation and support their personal development.
Work-Life Balance – Promote healthy boundaries, flexible working where appropriate, and the importance of switching off outside working hours.
