Employment law webinar: Five difficult employee scenarios and how to solve them

In our latest essential employment law webinar, Innes Clark, Alan Delaney and Caroline Maher discussed five difficult employee scenarios, being:

  • grievance raised against a line manager and or team members – resolving the issues without breaking the team
  • multiple disability-related absences – when do the adjustments stop being reasonable?
  • harassment allegations where the complainer does not want anything done – complying with employer obligations and duties of care
  • rejecting a flexible working request – justifying refusals in a compliant way
  • the high performer who behaves badly – balancing performance value with team dynamics and cultural value

The webinar highlights some of the key legal issues to consider, but the focus is very much on practical tips for employers to help them navigate these tricky issues.

The webinar is applicable to the law of Scotland, England and Wales. You can access the slides here.
