Employment law is changing fast. And if you’re not keeping up, your business could be exposed to risk without you even knowing it.
With new legislation on the horizon, including Labour’s upcoming Employment Rights Bill, now’s the time to ask: Are your policies and contracts still fit for purpose?
At Starfish People HR, we help small and growing businesses get legally confident. You don’t need to know the law inside out that’s our job. But we do believe every employer should feel secure knowing their business is protected.
What we’ll do for you
Think of it as a legal health check for your business. Here’s what’s included in our Legal Risk Assessment:
A thorough review of your contracts and employee handbook
A compliance check against current (and upcoming) UK employment law
A clear report outlining any gaps and what needs updating
There’s no legal jargon, just honest, human advice you can act on straight away.
Why this matters now more than ever
With changes to employment law gaining momentum, several areas now need your attention:
✅ Sexual harassment policies – These must now be proactive, not reactive. The law has shifted, and your policy needs to reflect that.
✅ Unfair dismissal from day one – The qualifying period is going. Employees will soon have protection from the start, so clear processes are a must.
✅ Right to flexible working – This is no longer a perk. It’s a right. And the framework around it is evolving quickly.
✅ Sick pay from day one – Waiting periods are on the way out. Are your processes up to speed?
These aren’t changes you can afford to ignore. But they are changes you can prepare for simply and confidently with the right support.
What will this give you?
✅ Confidence that your paperwork is watertight
✅ Protection against costly tribunal claims
✅ Peace of mind that your business is compliant
✅ A workplace that’s fair, transparent and aligned with the law
We’ve seen too many good businesses caught out by avoidable issues. Don’t let that be you.
