This essential course is designed for anyone and everyone affected by employment law in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the lockdown eases, employers will be struggling to keep employees on after the government stops paying for them under the furlough scheme. This course is designed to prepare participants for the legal implications of the current situation, which is likely to lead to litigation for years to come.
Participants will learn about the fundamentals of the law of redundancy, as well as the laws surrounding health and safety dismissals, in the context of the furlough scheme and COVID-19. As there is limited guidance available on how tribunals will interpret the laws, this course will provide participants with the knowledge to assess their chances of success.
Tufail Hussain, a researcher in online legal learning and specialist employment law consultant with experience in advising employers and employees in a range of cases from unfair dismissals to serious cases of discrimination, will be teaching the course. Participants will leave with the information necessary to protect their rights.
