From stock market IPOs to the threat of advanced computer hacking, AI is never out of the news. It is a big thing in businesses generally, and HR specifically, too: with AI automation being used for a whole host of tasks, often poorly.

Creating and placing job adverts; CV screening; candidate scoring; production of HR documentation such as employment contracts; and procedural communication, for instance in a disciplinary or grievance process.

For all its efficiency, AI has a number of downsides: data protection, human redundancies, inaccuracy and hallucination, and what we're going to focus on in this blog: bias: https://www.hrdept.co.uk/knowledge-hub/blog/six-types-of-ai-bias-in-hr-and-what-you-can-do-to-counter-them

Currently, employees need to have two years of continuous service for ordinary unfair dismissal protection. A tribunal may make a basic award plus a capped compensatory award, and you still have to establish a fair reason (conduct, capability/performance, redundancy, statutory illegality/ breach of law, SOSR) and follow a reasonable procedure.

From January 2027, this is set to change. The qualifying period will reduce to just six months, and compensation awards will no longer be capped.

You might think you still have six months to prepare, but in reality, your business should be taking action by 1st July.

Our latest blog explains this in more detail, along with the steps you should take to prepare: https://www.hrdept.co.uk/knowledge-hub/blog/unfair-dismissals-why-1st-july-is-so-important-for-employers
