Course Description: This session will give an update of the employment law challenges that have arisen over the past 12 months. It will look at the impact of the Job Retention Scheme ending, and the introduction of the Job Support Scheme. It will address the Job Retention Bonus, the responsibility on the employer if the employee should be self-isolating and the challenges of getting employees back to work if they are nervous of returning. It will also look at the key issues to think about when facing redundancies. Case law has been minimal during 2020, due to Court sittings being curtailed, but the key cases will be covered as well as looking at non-Covid related developments in employment law during the year.
