Following on from last month’s webinar we are very pleased to continue our webinar programme for the month of November.

Many organisations’ staff continue to work from home, whether on a temporary or permanent basis, and how to monitor staff effectively is becoming a key topic, but employers must ensure they are doing so legally.

Our panel of expert employment lawyers cover this, whilst also discussing the following insightful topics:-

Topics covered in the webinar

  1. Disability discrimination – we explore a recently reported case which provides guidance on “substantial adverse impact” and what is “likely to last 12 months or more”, in relation to the statutory test for disability;
  2. Whistleblowing – we will review a recent Employment Appeal Tribunal decision which looks at whose motivation within the employer is relevant when dismissing the employee who later claims automatic unfair dismissal when they’ve blown the whistle;
  3. Employee monitoring – the team discuss the complex legal issues surrounding whether or not an employer can monitor their employees’ use of emails, telephones, and the internet, and if so, how can it be done lawfully?
