In the most recent issue you'll find advice on...
Year 4 - issue 12 - 03.03.2021
CORONAVIRUSCan you discipline for off-duty COVID breaches?The laws relating to what people can and cannot do during the coronavirus pandemic have changed regularly over the last year. If an employee is fined for breaching the rules when they’re off duty, can you discipline them? |
DISCRIMINATIONThe importance of regular equality and diversity trainingWhen it comes to defending discrimination claims, as well as having equal opportunities and dignity at work policies, a recent case has demonstrated that it’s just as important to conduct regular equality and diversity training. Why is it so crucial? |
EQUAL PAYGender pay gap reporting in 2021 - the coronavirus impactThe deadline for this year’s gender pay gap reporting is 4 April 2021. However, why might the figures reported by affected employers be misleading this year? |
DISCRIMINATIONReference to possible discrimination wasn’t a protected actTo be protected against victimisation under the Equality Act 2010, an employee must do a “protected act”. Why was an employee’s email held not to be a protected act? |
WORK AND PARENTSTime off to attend adoption appointmentsEmployees who are proposing to adopt, either on their own or jointly with another person, are entitled to take time off work to attend adoption appointments in certain circumstances. How far does this statutory right extend? |
