New Year, New Employment Rules: Preparing Your Business for 2027
Employment law is changing again. Are your policies, processes and managers ready for what’s next?
Join WorkNest’s Employment Law experts for a practical webinar exploring the key reforms expected in 2027, what they mean for your organisation and the steps you can take now to prepare.
The next phase of the Employment Rights Act 2025 will affect how employers manage everything from probation and dismissal to flexible working and family leave.
With changes arriving at different points throughout 2027, knowing what applies to your organisation and when to act will help you stay in control.
Join WorkNest’s Employment Law experts for a practical overview of the reforms ahead. We’ll explain what’s changing, what it means for everyday employment decisions and where to focus your preparation.
You’ll leave with clear priorities to help you prepare your managers, strengthen your processes and approach the year ahead with confidence.
What we'll cover:
Unfair dismissal and probation: What the six-month qualifying period and removal of the compensation cap mean for managing new starters from January.
Fire and rehire: What the protections scheduled for March mean if you need to change employees’ terms.
Family-friendly rights: New bereavement leave and stronger dismissal protections for pregnant employees and new mothers.
Equality and menopause action plans: Who needs to act and what preparation involves.
Trade unions and non-disclosure agreements: New responsibilities and restrictions to factor into your approach.
Flexible working, guaranteed hours and shifts: What’s planned, what’s still being confirmed and what to keep on your radar.
Your next steps: What to review now and where your managers may need extra support.
