Ignoring ADHD adjustments can be an expensive mistake.

In a Employment Tribunal case, an employee disclosed ADHD and recommended workplace adjustments were identified. The adjustments were not implemented and the employee was later dismissed for poor performance.

The tribunal ruled against the employer, resulting in an award of approximately £24,000.

Every case depends on its own facts, but this decision serves as a reminder that reasonable adjustments should be properly considered and implemented where appropriate.

Do you think enough employers understand their obligations when it comes to neurodiversity in the workplace?

RIGHT TO WORK UPDATE FOR UK EMPLOYERS

The Home Office has clarified its Right to Work (RTW) guidance for employers and sponsor licence holders.

The updated position confirms the scope of checks and the requirement to retain evidence of compliance.

Employers must ensure:
✔ Correct Right to Work checks are carried out before employment begins
✔ Checks apply to workers you wish to employ (whether sponsored or not)
✔ Checks also apply to workers you wish to sponsor, including where they are not direct employees
✔ Evidence of checks is properly retained and up to date

This brings the guidance back in line with long-standing practice and reinforces existing sponsor compliance duties.

Has your employer replaced you while you're on maternity leave?

If you've returned from maternity leave to find someone else doing your job, your role has disappeared or you've been placed at risk of redundancy, you may have legal rights.

In a recent tribunal case, an employee was awarded approximately £67,000 after her role was effectively replaced during maternity leave.

Every situation is different, but if something doesn't feel right, it's important to get advice as early as possible.

The most expensive immigration mistake?

Thinking you’ve applied when, legally, you haven’t.

If your application is invalid, the Home Office may treat it as though it was never submitted. That means a simple mistake could have serious consequences for your immigration status, rights and future applications.

Before you apply, make sure your application meets all validity requirements.

Thinking about applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) in 2026?

The application fee is now £3,226 per person. While there is no Immigration Health Surcharge to pay, you may also need to budget for:

- Life in the UK Test – £50
- English language test (if required) – approximately £150

One important point to remember: if your ILR application is refused, the Home Office application fee is not refunded.

A well-prepared application can help avoid unnecessary delays, refusals, and additional costs.

Planning a business trip to the UK?

The UK does not have a separate Business Visitor Visa. Most business visitors enter under the Standard Visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), depending on their nationality.

Permitted activities include attending meetings, conferences, interviews, negotiations, training sessions, and site visits. Visitors may also gather information for an overseas employer and sign contracts.

However, visitors cannot work in the UK, take employment, sell goods or services to the public, or operate a business while visiting.

To qualify, you must show that your visit is genuine, that you can support yourself financially during your stay, and that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit. Evidence of strong ties to your home country, such as employment, family commitments or studies, can be important.

In some cases, short paid engagements are permitted where an individual has been invited as an expert, provided the engagement is completed within 30 days of entry.

What if an AI tool estimated your age differently from the age you claim?

The Home Office is testing Facial Age Estimation (FAE) technology as part of its approach to age-dispute cases in the asylum system.

Age assessments can have significant consequences, particularly for young asylum seekers who may be treated as either a child or an adult.

Swipe through to learn more about the proposed changes and what they could mean in practice.
