Employment Rights Act 2025

Ensuring your business remains compliant with employment legislation is essential to reducing risk and protecting your reputation. Polices, procedures and working practices are reviewed to ensure they reflect current legal requirements, are fit for purpose and in readiness for the recently implemented Employment Rights Act 2025. These reforms represent the biggest shake-up to employment law in a generation.

Are you aware from 6th April 2026 employees will be eligible for paternity leave and unpaid parental leave from the first day of employment? In addition sick pay from day one, rather than day four as currently? From 1st January 2027 employees will be protected from unfair dismissal where they have worked for their employer for at least six months, as opposed to two years currently. These are just some examples of the forthcoming changes. How will they effect your business?


Gaps can be identified, with clear recommendations for your business that are not only practical and commercially aware, resulting in your compliance framework being legally compliant, but workable in your day-to-day operations.

Grievance Handling

Workplace complaints require impartial and thorough investigation. Structured advice and support is provided to ensure grievances are addressed swiftly, transparently and in line with good practice.

 

By addressing concerns at an early stage, businesses can reduce escalation, maintain professional relationships and protect workplace culture, as well as helping to reduce staff turnover.

Resolve a Grievance Professionally

Dispute Resolution

Unresolved workplace conflict can quickly affect morale, performance, attendance and business reputation. By providing you with early intervention support and practical guidance, disputes can be constructively and quickly resolved.

 

The aim is to achieve balanced, commercially sensible outcomes, whilst maintaining professionalism and reducing the likelihood of formal proceedings, resulting in greater employee buy-in.

By structuring the process correctly from the outset, the risk of challenge is reduced, whilst maintaining dignity for those affected, protecting business reputation.
