UK Employers: the 2 year unfair dismissal rule is ending – are you ready?

One of the biggest employment law changes in decades is on the way, and it will significantly impact how you manage new starters.

What’s changing?

From 1 January 2027, the qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal will reduce from 2 years to just 6 months.

That means:
• Employees will gain unfair dismissal protection much earlier
• The traditional “under 2 years = low risk” assumption will no longer apply
• Probation and early performance management will be critical

Increased financial risk
At the same time, the cap on unfair dismissal compensation is being removed, meaning potential awards will be uncapped.

What’s not changing
• Day one protections (discrimination, whistleblowing, pregnancy, health & safety, etc.) remain unchanged
• Employers will still have a short window to assess suitability – but it’s now far shorter
What employers should be doing now
• Review probation periods
• Train managers to address issues early and document properly
• Tighten recruitment, onboarding and early performance processes
• Update dismissal and capability procedures ahead of 2027

Key date to remember:
1 January 2027 – but preparation needs to happen now, especially for hires made in 2026.

This change fundamentally shifts early employment risk. Employers who prepare early will be best placed to stay compliant and confident.

Employers: using zero hours contracts? Now is the time to prepare.

UK employment law is changing - Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, businesses will soon have a new legal duty to offer guaranteed (fixed) hours to zero and low hours workers who regularly work consistent hours.

🔍 What’s changing?
If a worker consistently works the same pattern over a reference period (expected to be 12 weeks), employers will be required to offer a contract reflecting those hours. Workers can still choose flexibility - but the offer must be made.

⏳ When?
These changes are being phased in, with key obligations expected to apply from 2026–2027.

✅ What employers should be doing now:
• Reviewing zero and low hours usage
• Identifying workers with regular patterns
• Planning how guaranteed hours offers will be handled
• Training managers on shift planning and notice requirements

Zero hours contracts aren’t being banned - but one sided flexibility is ending. Early preparation will reduce risk, protect worker trust, and avoid last minute disruption.

If your business relies on flexible staffing, make sure your contracts and processes are future ready.
