🚨 BIG CHANGES ARE COMING FOR UK EMPLOYERS 🚨

From April 2026, new employment law changes under the Employment Rights Act will start to come into force — and a lot of businesses aren’t prepared.

We’re talking about:
✔ Day-one sick pay rights
✔ Changes to family leave
✔ Increased redundancy risk (up to 180 days’ pay ⚠️)
✔ Stronger obligations around harassment
✔ Future changes to flexible working and zero-hours contracts

This isn’t just a small update — it will affect how you manage your people day-to-day.

The risk?
❌ Costly claims
❌ Tribunal exposure
❌ Policies that are no longer compliant

A full policy review like this would typically cost £350+, depending on the size of your business.

To help businesses get ahead of the changes, I’m offering a reduced-rate policy review for the first 3 businesses that get in touch.

No pressure — just a clear view of where you stand and what needs updating.

Heads up, employers — a change is coming that’s easy to overlook but hard to ignore 👇

From 6 April 2026, the rules around holiday pay record keeping are tightening up.

This isn’t just a tweak… it means you’ll need to start keeping clear, detailed records for every employee, including:
⛱️ Types of annual leave taken
⛱️ Any leave carried into the next year
⛱️ How holiday pay has been calculated (and what counts as “normal pay”)
⛱️ Any payments made instead of leave

And here’s the kicker — those records need to be kept for 6 years.

For a lot of businesses, this is new ground. It adds another layer of admin, especially if:
➡️ Your workforce has irregular hours
➡️ Pay isn’t straightforward (think overtime, commission, etc.)
➡️ Your systems aren’t set up to track this level of detail

Ignore it, and you could be facing more than just a compliance issue…
⚠️ It’s a criminal offence, with financial penalties attached.

Now’s the time to get ahead of it:

✔️ Sense-check your current processes
✔️ Spot what’s missing
✔️ Put clear responsibility in place
✔️ Explore tools or systems that can take the pressure off

We’re working through what this means in practice and supporting employers to get everything lined up properly.

If this is already on your radar (or now firmly is 😅), feel free to reach out.

And yes… this might be one of those “extra coffee required” kind of updates ☕

⚖️ Upcoming changes to unfair dismissal rights – are organisations ready?

From 1 January 2027, some significant changes to unfair dismissal rights are expected to come into force.

According to ACAS guidance:
• The qualifying period for unfair dismissal will reduce from 2 years to 6 months
• The current cap on compensatory awards for unfair dismissal will be removed

For employers, this places an even greater emphasis on having robust recruitment, onboarding and probation processes in place.

Managers and team leaders will need to be confident in:
✔ Setting clear expectations from the start
✔ Carrying out structured probation reviews
✔ Addressing performance or conduct concerns early
✔ Keeping clear and consistent documentation

In HR we often say the same thing for a reason:
“If it isn’t documented, it didn’t happen.”

Preparing early means organisations can strengthen their processes, support managers, and reduce risk before the changes arrive.

Over the coming months I’ll also be refreshing training with managers around probation reviews and the importance of clear documentation, just to make sure our processes remain strong and everyone feels confident managing these conversations.
