Employment Law Update Autumn 2026 - Birmingham

Would your training cost repayment clauses stand up to legal scrutiny? Could withdrawing a job offer result in a breach of contract claim? Do your probationary processes take into account that employees with 6 months service can, from January, claim unfair dismissal?

Join Make UK’s legal experts for a practical update on recent employment law decisions and forthcoming legislative changes.

We’ll examine:

• Whether employees can legally be required to repay training costs
• How compensation should be calculated in unfair dismissal claims
• When withdrawing a job offer could amount to a breach of contract
• New trade union workplace access rights
• The effective use of probationary periods given the changes to unfair dismissal rights in January 2027

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the legal risks, where your policies or processes may need attention and the practical steps your organisation should take.

Attending in person also gives you the opportunity to put your questions directly to our legal experts and meet other HR professionals, business owners and senior managers.
