Employment law changes land on 1st April. That’s only 26 working days away.
It’s easy to say:
“Yes, yes… we’re covered.”
But let’s be honest. Have you actually:
✅ Reviewed your sickness policy against the new thresholds?
✅ Updated your employee handbook (and re-issued it properly)?
âś… Checked your statutory pay calculations?
âś… Confirmed your payroll system is updated and tested?
âś… Reviewed your family leave policies and pay rates?
âś… Checked your minimum wage changes across age bands and apprentices?
âś… Updated offer letters and contract templates?
✅ Briefed your managers so they don’t accidentally apply the old rules?
âś… Checked your absence triggers still make sense?
âś… Ensured your HRIS reflects the changes?
✅ Documented compliance in case you’re ever audited?
Because “we think it’s updated” won’t stand up in a tribunal, neither will Ai re wrote it, and in scaling tech and defence businesses especially — where compliance, governance and reputation matter — getting this wrong isn’t just messy. It’s expensive. It’s distracting. And it damages trust.

Or are you assuming you’re compliant?
