- About event
-
Our legal and policy experts will explain:
- key employment law decisions from the last six months and how these might impact on your practices; and
- important legislative and Government policy developments that are relevant to HR.
In our case law update, we focus on two recent EAT decisions on redundancy, highlighting:
- the importance of ensuring that any redundancy process includes thorough consultation, even if you expect to redeploy employees into alternative roles;
- potential pitfalls that may arise if you require at-risk employees to apply for new roles that are essentially the same as their previous roles; and
- whether offering an appeal is necessary for a fair redundancy process.
We also look at recent cases on disability discrimination and reasonable adjustments, providing a timely reminder of:
- the fact that the duty to make reasonable adjustments is a continuing obligation;
- the potential breadth of reasonable adjustments; and
- the limits on an employee’s ability to claim discrimination arising from disability.
Our policy experts will then share insights on key legislative developments, including Covid-19 related sick pay provisions, the end of the furlough scheme and arrangements for EU workers post-Brexit.
The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session for you to ask questions of our expert speakers.
