ERA Explained | Unfair dismissal changes | The changing role of the line manager | S1 E2

In the second episode of our ERA Explained podcast, Kate Redshaw and Katie Wooller discuss how the role of the line manager may need to change given the reduction in the qualifying period for unfair dismissal from two years to six months and the removal of the compensation cap. 

In this bite-sized episode, they highlight the practical steps employers should be thinking about now – from strengthening recruitment processes and the active management of probationary periods through to documenting performance concerns, the risks around fixed-term contracts, and the need to upskill managers on what the changes mean for them.
