Poor performance and probationary issues, if mishandled, can quickly escalate into employee relations problems and legal risk.
With the length of service required to make a claim of unfair dismissal reduced to 6 months from January 2027, managing performance and probation issues will become even more important.
Join Wake Smith’s Employment Law team for a free breakfast seminar on Wednesday June 10 focused on managing performance and probation issues. The team will break down the law and share practical, employer-focused guidance.
Wake Smith’s team of experienced employment law specialists will offer advice on how to:
- Improve confidence in managing performance and probation issues
- Reduce legal and procedural risk in dismissal decisions
- Identify common pitfalls and how to avoid them
The quarterly events aim to keep clients informed and updated on topical employment issues and developments and are led by the firm’s Director of Employment Law Liam Kenealy.
Date: Wednesday June 10, 2026
Time: 8.30am-10.30am
Venue: Leahs Yard, The Assembly Room, 22 Cambridge St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 4HP
