UK: Employment Update - June 2016
7 June 2016
Welcome to this month's Employment News in Brief, in which we explore the usual melting pot of employment related issues to distract ourselves ahead of the impending Brexit vote. For publicity shy employers, the EAT decision to lift a restricted reporting order at the request of the Press in spite of the case settling will be of interest. Another EAT decision highlights that in today's long hours' culture, employers should be mindful that they may need to make adjustments to working hours if a disabled employee is put at a disadvantage as a result of an expectation that long hours will be worked. We also consider a ruling that injury to feelings compensation is not available for breaches of the Working Time Regulations, the implications for private sector employers of proposed off payroll working tax reforms and what employment rights and liabilities may arise in the forthcoming intern season.
