UK: Employment Update - December 2015/January 2016

10 December 2015

In this month's Update we consider some of the recommendations made by the Investment Association in its annual letter to remuneration committee chairmen in relation to payment in lieu of notice and the classification of good/bad leavers. In addition we examine recent case law on: (i) calculating and taking holiday entitlement when working patterns change; and (ii) how withdrawing a job offer because of an unfavourable reference can amount to disability discrimination. We also have an update on the Government's proposals to amend the tax treatment of termination payments and to consider a new statutory test for employment.
