Join us for our next employment law lab webinar on Thursday 21 May from 12.30 to 13.30, where Anna Reid, Senior Associate in our employment team, will discuss probationary periods.
Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, the qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal claims will reduce from two years to six months. In addition, the cap on the compensatory award for unfair dismissal will be removed, meaning the stakes for unfair dismissal claims will be higher.
It is therefore crucial that employers make proper use of probationary periods to monitor employees and manage any performance or other concerns effectively. During the webinar, Anna will share her top tips on probationary periods to help you prepare for the upcoming changes.
In addition, Cara Low, Associate in our employment team, will be sharing our practical tips from recent case law and key legislative updates.
