Employment law changes taking effect across October 2026 and January 2027 introduce new responsibilities and risks for hospitality employers.

Understanding the legislation is only the starting point. Businesses will also need to ensure that their policies, management practices and day-to-day operations reflect the new requirements.

Join the specialist employment law team at Hugh James for a practical webinar focused on what hospitality employers need to do now that the main reforms have taken effect.

What will the webinar cover?

The session will consider:

  • The key reforms that have taken effect and what they mean for hospitality employers.
  • The steps businesses should already have taken.
  • How to put the new requirements into practice across day-to-day operations.
  • Areas in which existing policies, contracts or procedures may need further attention.
  • The practical implications for managers and HR teams.
  • What businesses should prioritise over the coming months.

The webinar will be designed around the operational realities of the hospitality sector, including varied working patterns, customer-facing roles and the challenges of implementing change consistently across different teams and locations.

Who should attend?

This webinar will be relevant to:

  • Hospitality business owners and operators.
  • HR and people professionals.
  • General managers and operational leaders.
  • Managers responsible for workplace policies, staffing or compliance.
  • Multi-site businesses looking to implement the reforms consistently.
