Dismissal
We look at workplace scenarios that can strike fear into the heart of the most experienced HR professionals, including issues relating to: discipline and grievances; redundancy; and new legislation.
It is critical for employers to follow a fair procedure before dismissing an employee. Here, Fiona Cuming, senior employment law editor at XpertHR, discusses a series of recent employment tribunal decisions where unfair dismissal claims proved successful because of procedural mistakes made by the employer during the disciplinary process.
The current economic climate is forcing businesses to make difficult decisions as they grapple with high inflation, a deflated economy and an increasing financial burden. Luke Bowery offers an overview of the legal framework and considers alternatives to redundancy.
We reflect on the key decisions from last year and look forward to the case law trends likely to emerge in 2023. These include cases on: gender identity, holiday pay, coronavirus-related health and safety cases, industrial action, and dismissal and re-engagement.
If an employer dismisses for gross misconduct, what does this mean for an employee's contractual rights? Does a failure to pay notice pay, make an otherwise fair dismissal unfair? Max Winthrop, partner at Sintons LLP, joins us to answer these questions and more, drawing on his legal and practical expertise. Max also shares his thoughts on the potential for significant change to employment law under the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.
Max Winthrop guides you through everything you need to know about constructive dismissals and how they can be defended.
We highlight key cases due to be decided in 2022 and discuss their impact on HR. These include cases on: vicarious liability, holiday pay, agency workers, compulsory retirement ages, and coronavirus-related health and safety cases. We will also be reflecting on the key decisions from last year and look forward to the case law trends likely to emerge this year.
How are employment tribunals approaching claims arising from the coronavirus pandemic? We explore the most important decisions handed down so far this year and discuss their practical implications for HR.
We round up some of our most popular podcasts published this year.
Rochelle Murinas joins us to talk about the people skills required to manage redundancy exercises effectively and empathetically, while minimising the impact on all those involved.
