The impact of Covid 19 has not just been on the nation’s physical health. Mental health issues caused by the pandemic, for example where workers have spent many months working alone in isolation, have undoubtedly taken their toll. In our next bitesize employment webinar we will be looking at employers’ legal obligations to staff who may be suffering with mental health conditions.

• is someone with a mental health issue disabled under the Equality Act? -
• what must an employer do to support staff with poor mental health? -
• what would an employment tribunal find to be a reasonable adjustment? -
• when might a medical report be appropriate? -
• potential employment claims from staff suffering with mental health conditions

In our next Employment Bitesize webinar we will be looking at recent cases that have come before the employment tribunal and employment appeal tribunal including cases arising from the pandemic.

We will also be considering caselaw regarding what is counted as working time for employment rights purposes and proposed changes to the law including on the right to request flexible working.

In our next Employment Bitesize webinar series, we will address the basics of holiday entitlement and pay, and the relatively more complex precedents established by case law. We will then apply these pragmatically to worked examples.

Amongst other things, we will be covering: -

• Statutory holiday entitlement under English and Welsh and European Law.
• Contractual holiday.
• Holiday for part-time, term time only, zero hours, and atypical workers.
• Holiday carry over.
• Holiday accrual during sickness absence and family friendly leave.
• Payments in lieu of holiday.
• Key tribunal rulings on holiday pay from the last decade.
• Worked holiday entitlement and pay examples.
