Webinar: Employment Law Update replay | October 2020


Hosted by the Hugh James Employment and HR services team and HR Spectrum on Thursday 8 October2020, this webinar provided an employment law update discussing recent and key HR cases and forthcoming legislative changes. This included recent changes to legislation that have been introduced following the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit.

Following the employment law update, we concluded the webinar by holding an interactive session to look at some practical case studies arising from the pandemic. This included:

  • How to manage employees who choose to go on holiday to a country that is not covered by the travel corridor exemption vs those who are already abroad when the rules change
  • Considering what action needs to be taken when an employee is diagnosed with COVID-19
  • Managing issues regarding travel, health and childcare as we move to the next stage of the pandemic

This interactive session provided an opportunity to share ideas and discuss the approach organisations are taking to well-being and engagement in the current climate.

We have posted the webinar recording above, for you to watch at your leisure.
