- Built for UK employers of every size
- Designed for high-risk workplace decisions
- Structured around the 2027 compliance shift
From January 2027
Four changes take effect. One new standard emerges.
From January 2027, the risk profile for UK employers changes materially. A wider group of employees comes into scope sooner, the financial consequences of unfair dismissal increase, and sensitive workplace decisions become harder to defend without a clear evidential record.
Six-month qualifying period
Ordinary unfair dismissal protection reduces from two years to six months. Employees hired from late June 2026 onwards will be in scope from the first day of the new regime.
Compensation cap removed
The removal of the statutory cap on unfair dismissal awards increases the potential cost of weak process, incomplete documentation and inconsistent decision-making.
Fire-and-rehire restrictions
Dismissal linked to refusal of certain contractual changes becomes automatically unfair, except in narrow financial-distress circumstances, creating significant exposure where process and evidence are lacking.
Zero-hours and related obligations
Additional obligations around guaranteed hours, cancelled shifts and wider workplace compliance expectations increase the need for structured, defensible records.

When every high-risk people decision becomes evidence
For UK employers navigating 2027, standard HR systems are no longer enough.
From January 2027, Vearis helps create the sealed, decision-level record needed around the moments most likely to be challenged. Vearis is compliance software, purpose-built for high-risk workplace decisions. It sits alongside your existing HR software to secure the decisions that matter.

Automated Procedural Fairness
Guided workflows help managers follow fair and defensible procedures while automatically creating the evidence required to support decisions.
