Year 26 - issue 14 - 04.07.2024
MISCONDUCTWatch out for mouse mover devices!An American bank has sacked more than a dozen employees for using “mouse movers” on their work PCs. What are they and what should you do about them? |
DISCIPLINARY HEARINGSMust you allow support worker at disciplinary hearing?An employee has a statutory right to be accompanied at a disciplinary hearing by a work colleague or trade union representative or official. But do they have any wider right where they have a learning disability or there’s a language barrier? |
BENEFITSWithdrawing lifelong travel benefit was breach of contractThe Employment Appeal Tribunal has ruled that an employer couldn’t rely on the terms of its agreement with a third-party provider to withdraw a lifelong travel benefit from staff. How might this ruling impact your contractual benefit provision? |
TRAININGHow to protect your investment in external trainingThe government is proposing to require dental graduates to work in the NHS for several years after graduating or otherwise repay their training fees. If you’re intending to pay an employee’s training fees, could you have a similar provision? |
DATA PROTECTIONHandling a data subject access requestData subjects have the right under the UK GDPR to access the personal data that you hold about them and to be given certain information about the processing. Where an employee exercises this right, how should you handle their request? |
CONSTRUCTIVE DISMISSALConstructively dismissed following flexible working requestAn employee whose flexible working request was declined has won her claims for constructive dismissal and direct disability discrimination, even though her employer had sound business reasons for refusing her request. What key mistake was made? |
SICKNESS ABSENCESeeking medical report on sick employeeYou may want to seek a medical report on an employee during their long-term sickness absence or if they have a substantial number of short-term sickness absences. What should you do to ensure you obtain a report that’s fit for purpose? |
CONTRACTSParliament passes legislation restricting NDAs |
RIGHT TO WORKPre-settled status holders: right to work checks |
