Blake Morgan’s Employment law update and legal implications of managing new ways of working – PAST EVENT

We recorded a special Employment Law webinar on 19 July 2021. So-called “Freedom Day” may have been postponed from the original date, but many employers are finalising and implementing their plans for new ways of working. Whether you call it agile, flexible, hybrid or smart working, the changes raise many challenges and there are significant employment law implications.

But that’s not the only thing keeping employers busy and ensuring that their workplaces are COVID-19 secure remains a priority. We have now had a number of Employment Tribunal decisions about pandemic-related claims and these provide useful pointers to employers.

In our webinar recorded on 19 July 2021, employment lawyers Holly Cudbill, Debra Gers and Ruth Christy:

• Provide an update on new COVID-related Employment Tribunal decisions, giving helpful guidance to employers worried about claims arising out of the pandemic.
• Update you on other key cases on wide-ranging issues such as shared parental leave and the implications of “sleep-in” shifts for the national minimum wage.
• Consider the challenges and employment law implications of introducing new ways of working, including whether the changes should be contractual, how new working patterns interact with the statutory flexible working request and some consequences you may have not thought of.
• Make sure you’re up to date with the latest topical issues such as “fire and re-hire” and other developments.

As well as discussion and insights from Holly, Debra and Ruth, we have incorporated answers to the questions that we were asked ahead of the webinar on an anonymous basis.
