  • practical tips on how to avoid everyday contractual pitfalls on place/hours of work, PILON clauses, restrictive covenants, sickness absence issues (medical reports, accrual of holiday whilst off sick, calculating notice periods for employees on sick leave), the effect of TUPE, reserving the right to vary contracts and references to the handbook.
 
The Present:
Where are we now?
  • Review of recent cases and topics:
    • calculating holiday pay (commission/overtime)
    • what counts as working time?

Prevention is better than cure…
