Inside Legal and Compliance Q2 2026 provides recruitment leaders, legal and compliance teams with essential insight into the latest legal developments affecting the professional recruitment sector.
This edition focuses on the April 2026 implementation phase of the Employment Rights Act, including key reforms such as enhanced redundancy protections, Day 1 family leave rights, changes to Statutory Sick Pay, and strengthened whistleblowing measures. It also highlights the introduction of joint and several liability for umbrella company tax compliance and the establishment of the Fair Work Agency.
Alongside these changes, the report covers the Government’s consultation on modernising the agency work regulatory framework, including proposals to extend regulation to umbrella companies and strengthen protections for agency workers, as well as outlining the practical impact of recent increases to National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rates, frozen tax thresholds, and wider measures arising from the Spring Statement.
In addition, the report analyses recent Employment Tribunal decisions on unfair dismissal, discrimination and employment status, providing practical insight into procedural fairness, managing complex workplace issues, and the risks associated with worker status.
Designed to support proactive compliance and informed decision-making, Inside Legal Q2 helps businesses navigate regulatory change, manage risk effectively, and maintain competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving legal landscape. Members can download the latest report by clicking below.
