1 hour 25 minutes

Is your business ready for the Employment Bill set to transform everything?

The UK's new Employment Bill is set to change the workplace landscape in ways that could make or break businesses across the country. That’s why you need to be ready, that’s why you need to hear this episode.

I am joined by Paul Chamberlain, Head of Employment and Specialist Recruitment at JMW Solicitors. Paul is an expert and breaks down what these changes mean for you and your business.

Paul guides us through the most critical aspects of the legislation, including:

Day-one dismissal rights, zero-hours contract restrictions, and the wider impacts on recruitment and umbrella companies.

These aren't just minor tweaks—they're seismic shifts that will reshape how every employer operates.

The bottom line is that the businesses that understand these changes now will have a competitive advantage. Those that don't could face costly surprises.

Don't get blindsided by the biggest employment law shake-up in decades—listen now to stay ahead of the curve.

“It impacts every single business that employs individuals.” – Paul Chamberlain
