Is your business ready for
the employment law cascade?
Four overlapping regulatory shifts in nine months — day-one rights, harassment duties, statutory probation, and the Fair Work Agency. A professional screening tells you exactly where you stand and what to fix first.
The employment law gap facing UK employers
The Employment Rights Act 2025 is the biggest overhaul of UK employment law in a generation. Most SME employers are falling into one of three traps.
Assuming nothing has changed
Day-one unfair dismissal rights. Statutory probation periods. Strengthened harassment duties with vicarious liability for third-party harassment. The Fair Work Agency with new enforcement powers. If your contracts and policies were last reviewed before October 2024, they're likely non-compliant.
Relying on template contracts
Generic employment contracts from template providers don't reflect the specific regulatory cascade of 2026–2027. They miss probation provisions, updated notice requirements, and the harassment policy obligations that tribunals will now scrutinise.
Paying a solicitor for a full audit
An employment law solicitor charges £250–£400 per hour. A full HR audit runs £3,000–£8,000+. For most SMEs with 10–50 employees, that's more diagnostic work than they need at this stage.
Bartram HR sits in the middle: professional employment compliance screening, priced for real businesses, delivered in days not weeks.

Questions about your employment practices — contracts, policies, worker types, disciplinary procedures, and more. Designed to capture the information that matters without wasting your time.
AI analyses your responses
Our AI assesses your practices against the Employment Rights Act 2025, existing employment legislation, and upcoming enforcement deadlines. A human reviews every report before delivery.
You get a clear report
A professional PDF with your compliance score, plain-English explanations of every gap found, and a prioritised action plan aligned to the regulatory cascade timeline.
