S1E1 - Can we suspend that Employee?
00:08:25
In this episode of Employment Law Matters, Daniel Barnett looks at when and how you can suspend an employee.
Generally, you can suspend as long as you have good reason. Daniel will tell you first about a recent CA decision which said that, and then he will give you five situations where you’ll run into trouble if you suspend.
There are five ways in which suspension can lead to a constructive dismissal claim or, indeed, a finding of unfairness if you subsequently make a decision to dismiss.

S1E2 - Holiday Pay Conundrums
00:09:26
How hard can it be to work out how much someone’s wage slip should be for?
In recent years it has become clear that a wide range of payments that have not traditionally been used in the calculation of holiday pay should in fact have been included. As a result, many employers will have been underpaying their staff for a considerable period.
In this episode of Employment Law Matters, Daniel Barnett looks at the complicated and fraught subject of paid annual leave.

S1E3 - Top Five SOSR Dismissals
00:12:28
SOSR is like a classic car. It can work well but only in the right conditions.
An employer must have a fair reason to dismiss an employee.
When other avenues are exhausted, employers can sort to SOSR - which stands for ‘some other substantial reason’. Rather unhelpfully, there is no definition or guidance about its meaning. It must be 'substantial', which can include anything that is not frivolous or insignificant.
In this episode of Employment Law Matters, Daniel Barnett talks about the top five SOSR dismissals and why lawyers use that phrase, and looks at in which situations the use of SOSR can prove most useful.

This is a replay version of an episode originally published in July 2019. Please note that any law discussed in the episode may be out of date.
SOSR is like a classic car. It can work well but only in the right conditions.
An employer must have a fair reason to dismiss an employee.
When other avenues are exhausted, employers can sort to SOSR - which stands for ‘some other substantial reason’. Rather unhelpfully, there is no definition or guidance about its meaning. It must be 'substantial', which can include anything that is not frivolous or insignificant.
In this episode of Employment Law Matters, Daniel Barnett talks about the top five SOSR dismissals and why lawyers use that phrase, and looks at in which situations the use of SOSR can prove most useful.

An unauthorised absence can be deemed fair grounds for dismissal, but there could be a lot of reasons why an employee might simply not turn up for work one day - from a simple hangover, to a life threating family emergency. As an employer, it is important that you know how to avoid tribunal claims when dismissing.

why it’s dangerous to assume the employee has resigned

S1E18 - A couple of cases on harassment
00:08:47
Can an employer be held liable for an employee’s post on social media, or for his personal views said to the press? A conflict between an employee’s out-of-work actions and an employer’s reputation can quite easily happen. Employers should ensure that they have detailed conduct policies and should take reasonable steps to ensure such policies are communicated to staff.
In this episode, Daniel Barnett talks about two harassment cases in recent months:
Forbes v LHR Airport – Can an employer be vicariously liable for an employee’s racist Facebook post?
Page v NHS Trust Development Authority – Can an employee be fairly dismissed for the way he expresses his beliefs, rather than the beliefs themselves?
