Please click here for an update I drafted on minimising the risk of claims from employees during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The article covers the main types of claims that may arise from the pandemic and provides advice on how to minimise the risks of those, which includes the following:
- Ensure they are keeping abreast of current government advice and changes in the law
- Assess the business risks as a result of any changes implemented due to the pandemic
- Implement any necessary changes to the business as a result of those risks
- Regularly review their risk assessments due to the changing nature of the pandemic
- Keep a paper trail of risk assessments/tasks/systems that are reviewed to evidence the considerations taken
