Law For Life Ep 16 | Unfair Dismissal and Settlement Agreements
Law For Life
Wednesday, 6 May 2026 - 20 minutes
In this episode of *Law for Life*, the Franklin Solicitors podcast, the spotlight is on one of the biggest shifts in UK employment law in recent years. Georgia Harris from the employment team joins the discussion to break down the Employment Rights Act and what it means for both employers and employees.
The conversation explores the key changes coming into force, including the reduction in qualifying service for unfair dismissal claims, the removal of compensation caps, and the extension of claim time limits. There’s also a clear explanation of what actually counts as unfair dismissal, the different types of claims, and how these differ from redundancy.
The episode then moves into practical territory, looking at how businesses may be affected and why more disputes could be resolved through settlement agreements. Georgia explains how these agreements work, what they include, and why independent legal advice is essential before signing anything.
Whether you're employing staff or working within a business, this episode offers a straightforward and informative guide to navigating these upcoming changes and understanding your rights.
