Employers have started the year grappling with questions on redundancy, TUPE, performance management and a whole range of other concerns.
Here are the top ten FAQs on XpertHR for January 2012:
- Does an employee made redundant while on maternity leave have any special rights?
- Should an employer deal with an employee's poor performance through its disciplinary or capability procedure?
- Under the Agency Workers Regulations 2010, are agency workers entitled to bonuses that are payable to direct recruits?
- Can a fixed-term contract be terminated before the end of the term if the post is redundant?
- Where a transferee has no need for the employees transferred to it under TUPE, can the selection pool for redundancy include only the transferred employees, or must it also include the transferee's existing workforce?
- Should employers deal with all types of unauthorised absence in the same way?
- What is a reasonable review period when setting targets for an employee who is underperforming?
- If an employer provides for pro rata bank holiday entitlement for part-time employees, how should it calculate this?
- In a TUPE situation is the transferor required to obtain its employees' consent before passing on information about them to the transferee?
- Is an employee who is accepted for voluntary redundancy entitled to a statutory redundancy payment?
