HR to-do list 2026

Get ready for the significant changes scheduled for the coming year and beyond with our at-a-glance summary of HR, employment and immigration issues.

Our Workbox HR to-do list 2026 is free to view until 31 January 2026 (even if you don't have a Workbox subscription) and, in our video, Tony Hadden highlights key changes and considerations including in relation to:

• Unfair dismissal: six months’ service for claims and removal of compensatory award cap
• Trade unions and industrial action
• ‘Fire and rehire’
• Zero-hours and low-hours contracts
• Single-sex toilets, washing and changing facilities at work.

Workbox by Brodies is our award-winning HR and employment law site, which provides subscribers with access to practical guidance pages, 200+ templates and ready-to-go training materials, all of which are updated as the law changes. For more information or to arrange a demo, get in touch below.
