The Employee Rights Act continues to come into force, with significant changes landing in October 2026 and more to follow in January 2027. The implications of the Act stretch right back to the first interaction you have with a candidate, meaning your hiring process needs to be compliant from the start, not once issues emerge down the line.
In this webinar, Head of Talent Insights Tim Clifford will briefly review the changes to date and what our customers have experienced so far, before turning to what’s coming next.
October’s employment law changes: What you’ll learn:
- October’s changes to tribunal time limits, which will increase from three to six months, and what that means for how you hire and document hiring decisions.
- January 2027’s reduction of the unfair dismissal qualifying period from two years to six months, and the uncapping of compensatory awards – two changes that raise the stakes for hiring decisions and the probation period.
- How to adapt your hiring process to be compliant, consistent and better prepared ahead of each upcoming regulatory milestone.
If you want to understand what these changes mean in practice for your recruitment process, this session will explain the key milestones and action you can take.
