Unfair Dismissal Changes – The Clock Is Ticking

The unfair dismissal regime is undergoing significant changes from 1 January 2027, removing the compensation cap and reducing the qualifying service period from two years to six months. Employers planning dismissals or redundancies before this deadline must carefully navigate the interaction between the 1 January cutoff and statutory notice periods, which can extend an employee's effective termination date by up to 12 weeks regardless of payment in lieu arrangements.

The New Pay Transparency Consultation Explained: Risks And Opportunities For Employers

The government has recently launched a consultation on pay transparency proposals. Principally the government is seeking to ‘fix’ the equal pay system. Amongst the proposals, the government is consulting on whether employers should be required to include salary information in job adverts and to provide written salary information before an interview if the role is not publicly advertised. Ministers have argued that greater pay transparency will help candidates navigate the job market and that this could prevent future discrimination claims.

The Employment Rights Act 2025: Unfair Dismissal Reform And Why High Earners Are Now A Significant Litigation Risk

The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces one of the most consequential changes to the law of unfair dismissal since the right was first created. Whilst much attention has focused on the reduction of the qualifying period for bringing a claim, employers should be equally alert to another reform that could prove far more expensive: the removal of the statutory cap on unfair dismissal compensation.

What July 2026’s Bank Of England Decision Means For Private Capital Stakeholders

As widely anticipated, the Bank of England voted last week to hold Bank Rate at 3.75%. Whilst markets had expected the decision, it is noticeable that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) moved from a 7-2 decision, to a 6-3 one, with three members favouring a 0.25% increase. The move demonstrates the continued uncertainty around the UK’s inflationary environment, particularly in light of geopolitical tension, tariffs and trade disruption and political change, and their combined impact on global energy prices and the wider economic outlook.
