Problem
From January 2027, UK employment law changes materially increase employer risk: the unfair dismissal qualifying period drops from two years to six months, the statutory compensation cap is removed, and fire-and-rehire practices become automatically unfair except in narrow circumstances. Standard HR systems, designed primarily for administration and record storage, do not capture the decision-level evidence needed to defend high-risk workplace actions under this stricter regime.
Solution
Vearis is compliance software purpose-built for UK employers navigating the 2027 compliance shift. It sits alongside existing HR systems to secure the decisions that matter most, guiding managers through high-risk processes such as dismissals and contractual changes while automatically creating an audit-ready evidential record. The platform combines guided procedural-fairness workflows with a sealed chronology of meetings, decisions, rationale, and supporting documents, ensuring evidence is captured at the moment it matters rather than reconstructed after the event. This approach helps employers demonstrate fair process and defensible reasoning when workplace decisions are challenged.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK employers of every size who make high-risk workplace decisions and need to prepare for the January 2027 employment law changes, particularly HR teams and people managers in organizations with employees hired from late June 2026 onwards.
