UK Expansion Advice
Critical HR responsibilities in the UK
Issuing lawful UK employment contracts
UK employers must provide a written statement of employment particulars on or before an employee’s first day of work, setting out key terms such as pay, hours, job title, and holiday. When creating UK employment contracts, here are some of the key points you should consider:
- Employment Rights Act 2025 obligations
- Equality Act 2010 protections against discrimination
- Working Time Regulations 1998 for rest breaks and paid annual leave
- Statutory family leave and pay rights (e.g. maternity, paternity, shared parental leave)
Leap29 can draft and issue tailored UK employment contracts that reflect these requirements.
Create compliant HR documents and policies
You will need clear HR policies covering recruitment, conduct, benefits, grievance and disciplinary procedures, health and safety, and data protection. These should:
- Reflect current UK employment legislation, such as the Employment Rights Act 2025 and Working Time Regulations 1998, which set out core employee rights and holiday entitlements.
- Align with guidance from ACAS on disciplinary and grievance procedures and workplace policies.
Policies should be accessible to both managers and employees, ideally via a central HR platform.
Keep pace with changing HR legislation
UK employment law changes regularly, with annual updates to statutory rates (e.g. National Minimum Wage, statutory sick pay) and periodic reforms to family leave, working time and redundancy rules.
Leap29 monitors these developments, then updates your contracts, policies and payroll settings so your HR framework stays aligned with current regulations.
What are the advantages of expanding into the UK?
Expanding into the United Kingdom can offer several advantages:
- Access to a large, skilled workforce – The UK has a deep pool of highly educated and experienced professionals across finance, technology, life sciences and engineering.
- Gateway to European and global markets – The UK maintains close trade and investment links with Europe, North America and many other regions.
- Stable legal and regulatory environment – A well-established employment tribunal system and clear statutory framework provide predictability for employers.
Leap29 helps you convert these advantages into a workable UK footprint by taking on your HR burden from day one.
