Probation periods will become even more important under the Employment Rights Act reforms. π β¨
With ordinary unfair dismissal protection applying after six monthsβ service, employers will need to manage the early stages of employment with much greater structure.
That means setting clear expectations, holding documented review meetings, addressing concerns early and keeping evidence of the support provided.
Waiting until the end of probation to raise performance or conduct concerns could expose the business to unnecessary risk. π¬
Our complimentary London seminar will help employers understand how probation processes should be strengthened before the changes take effect.
