In our weekly podcast, David Hossack and Alan Delaney discuss the new statutory Code of Practice on Dismissal and Re-engagement which is expected to be brought into force this summer and the steps employers should take to comply with this.
David Hossack talks to Sarah Gilzean about Higgs v Farmor's School where an employee was dismissed for expressing her beliefs on social media and how employers can justify taking action in these circumstances.
In our latest webinar leading discrimination expert, Sarah Gilzean, Partner, and Fiona Meek, Associate, looked at the expected equality and harassment provisions of the Employment Rights Bill and the anticipated Equality (Race and Disability) Bill. As well as looking at how the new requirement to take "all reasonable steps" to prevent sexual harassment will alter current approaches.
Following the Supreme Court judgment that the definition of "sex", "woman" and "man" under the Equality Act related to biological and not certified sex, the Equality and Human Rights Commission ("EHRC") is working to update relevant statutory and non-statutory guidance.
