Legal Issues – Menopause

Recently, there has been a notable increase in the number of Employment Tribunal cases in the UK which specifically revolve around a Claimant’s menopause. There are many preconceptions and much misinformation regarding this topic. However, it is an issue worth understanding as women aged between 45-59 make up a significant percentage of the workforce. A recent survey has shown that 25% of women with menopausal symptoms have considered leaving the workplace.

Mental Health First Aid Training – November 2021

It is increasingly recognised that mental health is at least as important – if not more so – than physical health, especially in the workplace. Very few people have the skills and knowledge to respond effectively to a mental health crisis, so having a qualified in-house mental health first aider is a valuable asset to any organisation. This two-day, NHS-accredited course covers: The 5 steps of Scottish Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA) and how to apply them How to recognise when someone might need help, and the best course of action to take The relationship between mental health and both discrimination and alcohol & drugs Practical advice and experience to assist you in future mental health crises should these arise

Tribunal Tales

Tribunal Tale – Indirect sex discrimination

Alice Thompson, the Claimant, worked at a London based estate agency as a sales manager. After she announced her pregnancy there were a number of incidents which in the eyes of the Claimant amounted to a pattern of hostility.  She was absent on maternity leave from October 2018 to October 2019. On her return to work, she made an unsuccessful application for flexible working, and lodged a grievance about her treatment when pregnant; on learning both had been rejected, she resigned. She claimed pregnancy and maternity discrimination, harassment related to sex, indirect sex discrimination in respect of the flexible working request, unfair dismissal, and unlawful deduction of commission payments from wages.

Legal Issues – Working from home pay

The working landscape has dramatically shifted since the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic. While some companies are comfortable with the working from home set up, others are anxious to return to the office. A topic that is proving quite controversial is the issue of pay. Some have suggested that those who will be working from home permanently should have their pay cut. An example of this in the US is that Google has launched a pay calculator which has resulted in some employees being left with a pay cut. Google’s response to this is to say that pay has always been based on location and the expense of living.

Legal Issues – Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

The government has recently published the outcome of its Consultation on Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. The key take away from this is a commitment from the government that they will legislate to introduce a duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment and create explicit protections from harassment by third parties.
