The Labour Government plans to make unfair dismissal protection a day-one right for all workers, a significant change from the current law, where only employees with two years of service are protected. This change aims to prevent unjust dismissal while allowing fair dismissals for reasons like capability, conduct or redundancy. Employers should prepare by refining probationary periods, ensuring they are fair and transparent. This includes setting clear expectations, allowing for extensions, and documenting performance assessments. #EmploymentLaw #LabourLaw #UnfairDismissal

Facing an Employment Tribunal (ET) claim can be challenging for any employer. Claims often stem from employees seeking compensation for perceived wrongs. Understanding the ET process is key. A strong defence begins with identifying key issues and preparing for procedural steps like disclosure. However, exploring alternative dispute resolution can save time and protect your reputation. While not every claim can be prevented, fostering a fair, inclusive workplace and maintaining strong HR practices can make a significant difference. #EmploymentLaw #HR #WorkplaceCulture
