As the UK’s employment law framework continues to undergo significant reform, employers face an increasing challenge in keeping pace with legislative change and understanding its practical implications. Join Monica Atwal and Harry Berryman for a live webinar offering a concise and practical overview of the key employment law developments of 2026, relevant cases, together with a look ahead at the reforms and workplace trends expected to shape 2027.

    • Reforms already in place, such as:
      • Family friendly rights
      • Statutory Sick Pay reforms
      • Trade union and industrial relations developments
      • The Fair Work Agency
    • Further changes to be implemented later in the year and in early 2027, such as:
      • Reduced qualifying period and uncapped compensation for unfair dismissal claims
      • Zero-hours and low-hours contract reforms
      • Further trade union requirements
      • Stricter duties around steps to prevent sexual harassment
      • Extended employment tribunal time limits
  • Other expected changes, including to the EHRC and ACAS codes of practice
