HR Compliance & Employment Law Guidance
Employment law in the UK is changing faster than at any point in the last two decades. The Employment Rights Act 2026 will introduce the most significant reforms since the 1990s, covering everything from day-one rights for employees through to zero hours contracts, flexible working, and enhanced redundancy protections.
Staying on the right side of employment law is not optional — and for SMEs without a dedicated in-house HR team, it can feel like an impossible task to keep up. That is where P3 comes in.
This section brings together all of P3's guidance on HR compliance and employment law, written in plain English for business owners and directors rather than lawyers. You will find practical guides on contracts of employment, GDPR and data privacy, holiday pay, statutory rights, and the latest developments in UK employment legislation.
If you are dealing with an urgent compliance question or want to understand what the Employment Rights Act means for your business, start with our complete employer guide below — or get in touch with our CIPD-qualified team for a free consultation.
