Perhaps unsurprisingly as Furlough has come to an end, employees are asking for managers to consider allowing different ways of working. An employee may make a Flexible Working request.

The last thing an employer needs at time like this is an employee dispute: legal costs disruption and strategic risk (diverting information/contacts away etc.) not to mention compensation awards. There’s no upside.

With Furlough coming to end employers may think of downsizing their workforce so I’ve prepared this note to help with the discussion process.

Over the last 5 years I have represented SCST on no less 13 occasions and we have succeeded in 12 and in the other we reduced the claim from £100,000 to £10,000. RE was the last of them, I hope.
