Throughout March, issues on which XpertHR subscribers were looking for answers included the use of words such as "senior" and "junior" in job titles, recouping training costs where an employee subsequently leaves the organisation, and the difference between wrongful dismissal and unfair dismissal.
- Are employees entitled to paid time off to organise or attend a funeral?
- Where a suitably qualified employee who is about to go on maternity leave wishes to apply for an internal vacancy must she be considered for the position even though she may not be able to start the new job for a year?
- Under the age discrimination legislation is an employer prevented from using job titles including the words "senior" and "junior"?
- Can an employee work from home on her keeping-in-touch days?
- Can employees be required to be flexible about when they take their paternity leave, if several members of a department going on leave at the same time could cause problems for the business?
- Is an employer required to comply with the statutory dispute resolution procedure in relation to a fixed-term contract coming to an end?
- Can keeping-in-touch days be taken as half days?
- If an employer grants a request for an employee to work indefinitely beyond retirement age, is there anything to prevent it seeking to retire the employee at any subsequent time?
- What is the difference between wrongful dismissal and unfair dismissal?
- Is an employer legally entitled to recoup the training costs from an employee who leaves shortly after completing a course?
