📅 April 2026: Employment Law Is Getting a Software Update There are quite a few employment law changes landing this year and next year , which mark the beginning of one of the most significant overhauls of UK employment law in years. We’re talking Day 1 parental rights, statutory sick pay with no qualifying period, and protective awards increasing to 180 days’ uncapped pay per employee 😬 The changes will fundamentally reshape employer obligations, risk exposure, and how organisations manage their employees. The impact is wide-reaching, spanning your policies, contracts, payroll processes, and manager training. And if redundancy is even slightly on your roadmap, this is definitely something to have on your radar ⚠️ We’ve broken down what the first wave of changes means (and what you should be doing now) in the carousel below👇 This is just the beginning. Further reforms will be coming into force later in 2026 and 2027. Keen to understand how this may impact your business?
