As you open your laptops this morning, fire up your computers and sip on your coffee, why not ease yourself into the day by taking a read of some of our case scenarios!

Our case scenarios are common employee relations issues which our dedicated team of consultants have helped our clients tackle successfully.

Employment Law is something which requires a bit of maintenance. Keeping up to date often needs a proactive legal consultant who can advise you as you make your way through the various HR issues a business might face. That’s why we think it’s imperative to offer retained services

Some really interesting Research undertaken by Nottingham Trent University about presenteeism and how/when people decide to take sick leave. This could have a significant impact on businesses where employees can or do work from home where the boundaries between our home and work lives get blurred. Take a few minutes to read and let us know what you think.

As the rise in home working blurs the boundary between work and home lives, it has become easier for people to work while unwell.

Is Long Covid a Disability under the Equality Act 2010?

Long Covid and the symptoms are widespread including: fatigue, breathlessness, brain fog, dizziness, chest pains, insomnia, depression and anxiety.

Under the law, a disability is a physical or mental impairment that has a 'substantial and long-term' negative effect on a person's ability to do normal day-to-day activities.

'Long term' means the impairment has lasted or will last for at least 12 months or can come and go or is likely to last for the rest of the person’s life.

There is no definitive answer as to whether Long Covid is classed as a Disability under the Equality Act at this stage and ACAS suggests employers focus on making reasonable adjustments and providing a supportive environment rather than trying to work out if an employee’s condition is a disability.

Hybrid working is here to stay but do you have the correct policies in place to support such working practices?

A policy to support Hybrid Working arrangements is important not only does it lay out employers’ expectations whilst working at home, but it provides consistency for all employees.

When developing a Hybrid Working Policy, employers need to ask themselves:

1. Do you intend to trial hybrid working arrangements in the first instance?
2. Will all employees be able to have such arrangements, or will it only apply to certain job roles?
3. Can hybrid working only take place at the individual’s home or can employees work from another location?
4. Is there a set number of days per week you would like employees to attend the workplace?
5. Will meetings still take place in person?
6. Will your absence management procedures be impacted by this change?

CoLaw are expects in policy writing and we can help you develop and implement the policies you require for your business! Contact us by emailing [email protected] to see how we can help your business🤗
