UK employment law changes are coming and this is what founders need to know

If you employ people in the UK, the next two years are going to bring some of the biggest employment law changes we’ve seen in decades.In this episode of the Legal Leverage Podcast, we break down what’s actually changing and more importantly, what it means in practice for founders and growing businesses.We cover:Unfair dismissal rights moving from 2 years to 6 monthsStatutory sick pay from day oneNew liability for third-party harassmentChanges to zero-hour contracts and worker protectionsExtended tribunal time limits and increased compensation riskThese aren’t just technical updates.They will directly affect how you hire, manage and sometimes dismiss employees, particularly if you’re running a growing business without a large HR function.One of the biggest risks we see is businesses treating employment law as something to deal with later. In reality, by the time there’s a dispute, it’s usually too late to fix the foundations.This episode focuses on what actually matters:How these changes impact your day-to-day operations, and what you should be doing now to stay ahead of them.If you’d like help reviewing your employment contracts or policies, you can contact us at [email protected] or visit JamiesonLaw.Legal.
