January 2027 Employer Readiness Checklist

From 1 January 2027, employees can claim unfair dismissal after six months instead of two years. Our free two-page checklist shows UK employers exactly what to get in place before the new rules start.

What’s in the checklist

  • The six-month unfair dismissal rule, and how to get probation right before it starts
  • Your new duty to tell workers about their right to join a trade union, with the 5 April 2027 deadline for existing staff
  • New consultation rules for tipping policies
  • A quick check that you’ve covered the 2026 changes, from sick pay to sexual harassment
  • What’s coming later in 2027, so you can plan ahead
