Employment Rights Bill - Day 1 rights including unfair dismissal: 6 February 2025

This is part one of a four part series of webinars that we will run this year on the Employment Rights Bill to help employers prepare for the very significant changes that will be brought in by the Bill.

In this webinar, Innes Clark and Meghan Jenkins will look, in particular, at the removal of the two year qualifying period for unfair dismissal and what this will mean in practice. We will discuss:-

  • How the initial period of employment/statutory probationary period is likely to work
  • What we know from the Government's consultation process so far
  • What is and isn't covered by the lighter touch dismissal procedure during the statutory probation period
  • Potential trap doors
  • Likely impact on employers and the number of claims
  • What you should be doing to prepare
  • Q&A
