The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces the biggest changes to UK employment law in decades<\/strong>. With major reforms being introduced throughout 2026 and 2027, employers must begin preparing now<\/strong> to remain compliant, reduce legal risk and protect their organisations.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0January 2027<\/strong>, employees will be able to bring an ordinary unfair dismissal claim after just\u00a06 months\u2019 service<\/strong>(reduced from the current 2-year qualifying period).<\/p>\n

For employers, this means the way you recruit, manage performance, handle probation, and make dismissal decisions will need to change.<\/p>\n

A process that may have felt low-risk in the past could soon create significant legal and financial exposure.<\/p>\n

Join us for a complimentary practical seminar:<\/p>\n
