Under current Employment Law, employees can only pursue claims for unfair dismissal after two years. That’s all set to change. But not quite how the government initially intended. Originally, day one unfair dismissal rights were on the cards. Not anymore.

After months of back and forth, day one proposals were scrapped, and instead, the current two-year qualifying period is to be reduced to six months.

Whilst the change isn’t legally due to land until January 2027, organisations must be prepared for the impact of this change well in advance. It’ll bite well before 2027 implimenation date.

Rena Christou, CEO of HR and employment law experts Empowering People Group and LinkedIn legal influencer, joined Head of Insights at TALOS, Tim Clifford, to discuss how these changes will affect your organisation, your recruitment and people strategy.

What you’ll take away:

  • How you should be preparing for new unfair dismissal rights
  • How to mitigate the risks the change will create
  • The importance of hiring right first time
