BrightHR launches Fair Work Agency Navigator to help UK employers get inspection-ready New dashboard gives businesses a clear, instant view of key Fair Work Agency responsibilities, employee records and compliance requirements Manchester, UK – HR and absence management software provider BrightHR has launched its new Fair Work Agency (FWA) Navigator, helping UK employers stay prepared for Fair Work Agency inspections within an increasingly complex employment law landscape. Available in the BrightHR app, the Fair Work Agency Navigator brings key employee records, compliance information, notifications and training records together in one easy-to-use dashboard.
It gives businesses a simple way to demonstrate compliance and quickly find the information they may need, if the Fair Work Agency carries out an inspection.
The launch comes as employers prepare for significant changes under the Employment Rights Act 2025 and the introduction of the Fair Work Agency as a UK workplace enforcement body.
The FWA can inspect workplace records, meet with employees and carry out both scheduled and spot-check inspections. Employers will need to provide evidence covering areas such as minimum wage compliance, employee training and holiday records.
The Fair Work Agency Navigator is a new hub, to help businesses prepare for Fair Work Agency inspections. Employers can:
• Track and export employee reports and records • Evidence mandatory training records for staff and managers • Access employment law resources and support, plus notifications for key compliance requirements • Get an instant overview of minimum wage, annual leave and probation-related employee data
Alan Price, CEO at BrightHR said:
"Staying on top of employment law responsibilities is becoming more challenging for small and medium-sized businesses. Most employers want to do the right thing, but finding, tracking and keeping the records needed to show compliance can take valuable time.
"The Fair Work Agency Navigator makes preparation simpler by giving employers one clear view of the key information they need. It helps businesses spot gaps early and take action before an employee complaint or an inspection by the FWA.
"As the employment law landscape continues to shift, we're committed to giving employers practical, easy-to-use tools that help them stay compliant, save time and focus on running their business.”
The FWA Navigator is just one of the ways BrightHR is helping UK employers manage their increased responsibilities under the Employment Rights Act 2025. Billed as the biggest upgrade to UK employment law in a generation, the changes are estimated to cost employers £1bn per year.
The new dashboard builds on BrightHR's existing HR and compliance tools by bringing important information together in a single inspection-ready view. Employers can quickly find records, generate reports and keep an eye on areas of compliance that may be relevant during a Fair Work Agency inspection.
The Fair Work Agency Navigator is available now through BrightHR.
