 Hi Phillip, 

From 1 January 2027, the qualifying period for unfair dismissal protection will reduce to six months. But this isn’t a future problem – the risk begins now.

In practice, employees who join from 1 July 2026 will already have sufficient service to bring a claim as soon as this change in law takes effect. This means any dismissals decisions made from mid-2026 will need to be fair and defensible.

Make sure you’re not caught out. Join us on 4 June at 2.00 pm ( https://wn.worknest.com/e/398692/ng-udr-prospect-invite-2-may26/dl62v2/2198819347/h/r5INnYWXQ-_THpEKQbvh33W-Ck44BaTQIOhSvk4j1Rw ) for a timely refresher on handling dismissals fairly and legally ahead of these reforms.

In this session, we’ll cover:
	What’s changing under unfair dismissal reform – and when risk really begins
	How to manage probation periods effectively under increased scrutiny
	The importance of having a fair reason for dismissal and following a fair process
	Where employers commonly get caught out – and how to avoid it
