What business owners need to do now for January 2027’s new dismissal rules
A free live session covering the practical steps small business owners need to take right now, before the new rules kick in.
If you’ve hired someone recently, or you’re planning to hire in the coming months, the rules have changed in a way that affects you immediately.
From 1 July 2026, anyone you take on could gain the right to claim unfair dismissal after just six months of employment.
The two-year qualifying period is disappearing and it changes what fair hiring, onboarding and probation actually need to look like in your business.
This session covers:
• What’s actually changing and when it applies
• What the new rules mean for every person you hire from now on
• How onboarding, probation and performance management need to work under the new regime
• What fair dismissal looks like in the first six months
• The financial risk of getting it wrong (including the removal of the compensation cap in January 2027)
• Quick, practical steps you can take this week
Who this session is for:
• You’ve hired recently or you’re planning to hire
• You handle people decisions yourself or through a manager
• You’re not sure whether your current contracts, probation process or onboarding are fit for purpose
• You want to understand your exposure before something goes wrong
We work with small business owners every day on exactly these kinds of people challenges. This session is designed to be jargon-free, practically focused and genuinely useful for business owners running real teams.
