🚨 UK EMPLOYMENT LAW IS CHANGING — IS YOUR BUSINESS READY?

The next 12–18 months will bring some of the biggest changes to employment law in years.

From changes to unfair dismissal and probation periods to new requirements around sick pay, family leave, sexual harassment, flexible working, fire and rehire and trade unions, employers need to be preparing now.

📅 From 1st January 2027, ordinary unfair dismissal protection will reduce from 2 years’ service to just 6 months, while the current cap on compensatory awards will be removed.

That means your recruitment, probation, performance management and dismissal processes could all need a rethink.

👉 We’ve put together a practical guide covering the key employment law changes coming in 2026–27, including what employers should be doing now to prepare.

Don’t wait until the law changes to review your HR processes.

If your contracts, handbook, policies or HR procedures haven’t been reviewed recently, now is a good time to get them ready.
