UK: Employment Update - September 2011
22 September 2011
Welcome to the September 2011 edition of Employment News in Brief.
In this edition we report on a case that examines what can constitute a reasonable adjustment for the purposes of enabling a disabled employee to return to the workplace. The question of when it can be fair to dismiss an employee and then re-engage them on less favourable terms where agreement cannot be reached about proposed changes to the contact is the subject of a second decision. The final case reported in this briefing looks at the effect of summarily dismissing an employee during their notice period.
This briefing also reports on new guidance issued by ACAS on social networking sites and the Equalities Office 'Think, Act, Report' aimed at encouraging the voluntary reporting of gender pay gaps.
