Asking employees to come (back) into the office

Many businesses are now asking / instructing employees to attend the office more regularly.

Will Rollinson and Tony Hadden discussed the legal issues and challenges associated with bringing employees back to the office. They looked at some reported cases as well as discussing how the recent changes to flexible working rules and the Government's proposals for employment law reform will impact on the approach you can take.

The webinar covered:

• the legal issues: including potential discrimination claims and constructive unfair dismissal claims; 
• case studies: what we see employers doing in relation to office attendance and recent tribunal cases such as Follows v Nationwide Building Society; and
• the impact of Flexible Working rules: how your approach should address the need to consider flexible working requests and Government reforms
