Clear and well-drafted contractor and sub-contractor agreements are essential to ensure legal compliance and safeguard business interests. Ambiguity in roles, responsibilities, and liabilities can increase the risk of disputes and financial exposure if not properly addressed.

Agreements should clearly define expectations, allocate risk appropriately, and align with current legislation, including employment status considerations. Robust documentation supports consistency, reduces risk, and strengthens contractor management across the organisation.

Significant changes to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) have been introduced from 6 April 2026, expanding eligibility and altering how payments are calculated. SSP is now payable from the first day of absence, with the removal of waiting days, and the Lower Earnings Limit has been abolished, bringing more employees within scope.

For some employees, SSP is calculated at 80% of average earnings or the standard flat rate, whichever is lower. As a result, payroll processes, policies, and procedures are required to be updated to ensure accuracy and ongoing compliance.

The Data Use and Access Act 2025 introduces adjustments to the way certain cookies may be used.

Under the updated framework, some forms of non-essential data collection for statistical and service improvement purposes may be permitted without explicit user consent. While this may simplify aspects of analytics, transparency remains a fundamental requirement.

Organisations are expected to ensure that data usage is clearly communicated and that Privacy Notices accurately reflect how data is collected, processed, and utilised.

Failure to maintain transparency may still result in regulatory scrutiny and potential enforcement action.

Support can be provided by Ilisi Expert Legal Compliance to ensure your cookie practices and documentation remain compliant.

Under the Data Use and Access Act 2025, organisations will be required to implement a formal and accessible data protection complaints procedure.

Where concerns may previously have been addressed informally, a structured and documented process is now expected. A clearly defined complaints procedure must be established, made publicly available, and supported by appropriate internal controls.

Individuals must be given the opportunity to raise complaints directly with the organisation before escalating matters to the ICO. Accessible submission methods, including digital options, are expected to be in place.

An increase in complaint volumes is anticipated, making preparation essential to ensure procedures remain compliant and effective.

With the introduction of the Data Use and Access Act 2025, organisations are being placed under increased scrutiny to ensure that personal data is handled lawfully, transparently, and securely.

Privacy Policies and Complaints Procedures are not simply administrative documents, they are fundamental to demonstrating compliance. Failure to review and update them may result in regulatory action, reputational damage, and operational risk.

A proactive approach should be adopted. Documentation is expected to be clear, current, and supported by effective procedures that evidence accountability.

At Ilisi Expert Legal Compliance, tailored support is provided to ensure that your policies and procedures remain compliant and robust.

The start of a new financial year provides an opportunity for employment law compliance to be reviewed in a structured manner. Legal obligations evolve, and documentation that was once compliant may no longer provide adequate protection.

A review should include employment contracts to ensure legislation is reflected, probation clauses remain enforceable, and restrictive covenants are defensible.

Policies and staff handbooks should align with current ACAS guidance, including disciplinary and grievance procedures, flexible working, equality, anti-harassment, data protection and IT usage.

Right to Work documentation should be audited and expiry dates monitored. Sponsor licence duties should be reviewed where applicable.

Holiday carry-over and holiday pay calculations, particularly where commission or overtime applies, must be compliant. Statutory pay rates should be updated.

Training records, performance documentation and evidence supporting HR decisions should be maintained.

Robust documentation is often decisive in defending Tribunal claims. A compliance audit before 1 April is strongly recommended.

Ilisi Expert Legal Compliance provides practical employment law support. Contact Ilisi to arrange your review.

Under fire safety legislation, a ‘suitable & sufficient’ Fire Risk Assessment must be maintained for all commercial premises. Compliance is not achieved simply by holding a document on file; it must remain current and reflective of the premises as they exist today.

A review should be undertaken where material changes occur, including structural alterations, changes in layout or use, increased occupancy, new equipment or processes, or following a fire incident or near miss.

The legal duty rests with the designated ‘Responsible Person’. While responsibilities may be delegated, accountability cannot be transferred. Evidence of review and action taken should be retained to demonstrate compliance.

Failure to maintain a current assessment may result in Fire Authority inspection, enforcement or prohibition notices, criminal prosecution, and potentially reduced or invalidated insurance claims.

Fire safety compliance protects lives, business continuity and insurability.

With the new financial year approaching, a review should be scheduled.

Ilisi Expert Legal Compliance provides comprehensive Fire Risk Assessments. Contact Ilisi to ensure your premises remain compliant and protected.
