Employment Law Update 2022
About the event
Our legal 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 will consider four recent court decisions exploring:
- whether dismissal for bringing numerous vexatious and frivolous grievances can be fair;
- when an employer might be found vicariously liable for injury suffered by a contractor at its premises as a result of an employee’s practical joke;
- whether a trade union can prevent an employer from ‘firing and rehiring’ employees in order to implement changes to terms and conditions; and
- when employees can claim payment in lieu of previous years’ untaken or unpaid holiday on termination of employment.
We will also provide a roundup of a few recent Employment Tribunal decisions dealing with issues arising out of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as whether a fear of catching Covid-19 amounts to a protected philosophical belief and whether dismissing an employee who refuses to be vaccinated can be fair.
We will then share insights on key legislative and policy developments, including:
- an HR-focused update on issues arising from Covid-19;
- gender pay gap reporting;
- GDPR;
- flexible working; and
- the Employment Bill.
The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session for you to ask questions of our expert speakers.
