Case of the Month
7/2026
Unfair Dismissal
  ͏ ‌ Under new government changes all employees hired from 1 July 2026 and all employees ( whenever hired ) from 1 January 2027 will be able to claim unfair dismissal in the ET because the qualifying period of 2 years comes down to to 6 months. So employers have to use the probation period ( if there is one ) wisely because after 6 months it will be very difficult to dismiss an employee who is , for instance , underperforming. Expect a huge backlog and delayed hearings too. Also the qualifying period for an employee to request written reasons for dismissal also drops from 2 years to 6 months.  ͏ ‌   ͏ ‌
