In comparison to the previous quarter (July to September 2024), we saw a rise in:
- Unfair dismissal claims – up by 10.4%
- Breach of contract claims – up by 10.8%
- Failure to provide SMT claims – up by 5.2%
The fact that claims are rising sends an important message to HR.
It’s absolutely vital for businesses to make sure they’re taking all the right steps to stay legally safe.
That means following full and fair processes (and leaving no stone unturned).
It also means having robust, up to date company documents. Your staff contracts should be in line with your business needs and you need to be ready to adapt them to legal changes as and when they drop.
It’s a difficult feat – which is why over 44,000 UK businesses leave that job to Peninsula.
