One of the top 10 HR questions throughout March is: what’s the difference between “unfair dismissal” and “wrongful dismissal”? Interestingly the same question has cropped up in the top 10 HR questions before - back in March 2008 - so, if you’re in any doubt, now is the time to check the answer. HR professionals have also been asking about employees working two jobs and the limit on weekly hours, and whether or not employees can take on paid work during their maternity leave. It may just be a coincidence, but it could be that HR are seeing an increase in employees needing to boost their family income through measures such as taking a second job.
- Can an employee take on paid work during her maternity leave?
- Where an employee has two jobs which employer is responsible for ensuring that the employee’s total weekly hours do not exceed the working time limits?
- How much of the statutory maternity pay that it has paid out can an employer recover?
- If an employee resigns after disciplinary proceedings have been commenced should the employer continue the disciplinary procedure?
- Can a worker and union representative agree that the representative will answer all questions put to the worker at a disciplinary hearing?
- Where an employee who has exhausted all entitlement to sick pay is to be dismissed on grounds of ill health will he or she be entitled to any payment throughout his or her notice period?
- Does an employee still qualify for statutory maternity pay if she leaves her employment?
- What is the difference between wrongful dismissal and unfair dismissal?
- Can an employer change an employee’s hours where there is no contractual clause authorising it to do so?
- Can workers opt out of rest breaks?
