| 06 Feb 2020 | #1: Welcome to Employment Rights Online The Podcast | 00:15:10 | |
Hi there Welcome to the very first edition of the Employment Rights Online podcast, where we discuss everything 'employment rights' and "the job". It's great to have you on board. Remember to subscribe to the podcast where you're listening to this episode. I don't want you to miss a thing. If you're reading the show notes to get your 'Grievance' freebie download, you can get that by using this link here. So, why employment rights you might ask? Well, we have never had so much uncertainty about employment status and the question being asked, is whether ever worker is the same. Workers are wondering whether their gigger status, or IR35 status, or zero hours contact status, or permanent contact or term time working, are all the same and whether everyone working on these types of contacts, are entitled to the same employment rights. The answer to this is 'NO', but the uncertainty about where to get the information about contacts and rights can be difficult to pin down - and that's why we're here! Over the coming weeks, we'll discuss a range of employment rights and job-related topics over the airwaves - the aim being, to shed light on some of the answers people are looking for, in these areas. I hope you'll stay tuned to the podcast and subscribe to the shows so you don't miss a thing. You can leave comments on our social media pages and we will try to reply to you as soon as possible. Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoy the show.

| 29 Oct 2020 | What You Need to Know About the New Job Support Scheme! | 00:14:41 | |
Hi there I hope you’re keeping up with the never-ending changes that surround the government’s covid plans. For those of you who may have missed it - in the last week there’s been yet another update to the old furlough scheme, which became the Job Support Scheme. The old Job Support Scheme which was due to come online on 1st November 2020, has now become the Job support scheme mark 2 and there are some changes to get our heads around! In this week’s episode, we look at the new additions to the Job Support Scheme and also touch on the question of who is eligible to receive help. Remember, if you feel you have been treated unfairly at work, the first thing you need to consider is submitting a complaint or a grievance - to ask your employer to investigate your concerns. To help you with this, included in the podcast notes for this episode are some grievance templates that you can use to help you write your letter of complaint. Just scroll down to the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast and press ‘See More’, and you will see the live links that will take you to some helpful Grievance support templates and other information.

| 16 Jul 2020 | #24: What If I Thought I Applied for A Job, But My Employer Expects Me to Be Self Employed! Can My Employer Do This? | 00:16:26 | |
Hi Everyone I hope you’re having a great employment rights week, as we move further towards full return to the workplace. This week we have another listener’s question, which is a great question - and one which came off the back of last week’s podcast episode about the employment status of agency workers. In fact, it’s such a good question, we changed the schedule a little, to answer the question in this week’s podcast episode. The question we were asked is “ What if I applied for a job as a worker, but when I started the job and got my first months wages, my employer told me that I have to pay my own tax and national insurance because I’m self employed? Does that make me an agency worker? Is this right?” There are some really useful tips you can use to address this type of concern, if this question speaks to a similar problem you’re having with your employer. We hope you find the episode useful. Remember to let others know we are here by sharing our content and leaving us a review about the podcast, if you like what you hear. This helps to keep our podcast visible and easy to find. Don’t forget your access to our free Grievance downloads, which you’ll find in the links below. Thanks for listening Bye for now.

Hi there In this week’s podcast episode, we continue our series, looking in detail at the different types of paid and unpaid leave that you may be entitled to receive at work. In episode 36 of the podcast, we looked at Unpaid Parental Leave. In this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re going to look at Shared Parental Leave, which is a different type of leave altogether, and is form of paid leave that is in place for parents who want to take time off after their baby is born or after your adopted child comes to live with you. The leave must be taken in the first year of your child’s life or after your adopted child is placed with you. If you or your partner apply for Shared Parental Leave you may also be able to claim Shared Parental Pay and if you qualify for both elements, that’s the leave and the pay - you and your partner could share up to 50 weeks of leave and up to 37 weeks of pay between you. We hope you find something useful that you can work with in this week’s episode.

Hi there and happy new year to you. We hope 2021 finds you in the best possible health as we begin a new year of increasing our understanding of our employment rights.

| 28 Jan 2021 | No! Your Religious Social Media Posts May Not Be Fully Protected Under Discrimination Law! | 00:16:47 | |
Hi everyone We hope you are continuing to keep your spirits as high as you can, during the lockdown. Like you, we hope it’s over soon. We’ve reached a milestone this week, in that our podcast is a year old today and we’re super pleased about that. We started the podcast just before the lockdown, not quite knowing how it would be received after lockdown started. But looking at how much you engage with the podcast, it’s clear we had nothing to worry about. So, on our first anniversary, we want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support you have shown our small but mighty project. In this week’s episode, we take a look at what can happen if you post religious comments in social media groups, which criticise your employer’s business. The focus in the episode, is on the wrongly held belief that because your religion and belief is a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 – that you are able to make religious-based comments freely, wherever you want, without any disciplinary measures being taken against you. We hope you find something useful that you can work with in this week’s episode. Remember to let others know we are here, by sharing our content and leaving us a review about the podcast on iTunes or anywhere else where you’re listening and where you can leave a review. This would be a real gift to receive after reaching our one year milestone. Have a great week. Thanks for listening Bye for now

| 24 Dec 2020 | Help! I Disagree with My Occupational Health Report. What Should I Do? | 00:13:32 | |
Hi there! We hope you are managing to keep your head up, as we end the year in the uncertain way in which we have moved through the year. For the last three weeks we have been looking at aspects of sick leave and sickness policy and procedures. Now, as we near the end of this series of podcasts, one of the last things we need to look at is the occupational health process, and in particular, what happens if you disagree with your occupational health report. This episode takes you through your rights about the occupational health report and looks at a scenario which the employer may be able to choose, as a way of justifying any decisions taken against you.

| 11 Mar 2021 | What is Victimisation and How Do You Know if This Has Happened to You! | 00:13:33 | |
Hi there This week we are into the last week of our mini-series on treatment at work having covered bullying in the first part of the series and harassment in the second part of the series. This week we conclude the series looking at victimisation at work and how you will know if you have been a victim of this. Victimisation unlike bullying is covered by law under the Equality Act 2010 and a definition of victimisation is when you are treated badly because you complain about discrimination or you help someone who has been discriminated against. This is called victimisation. We explore this employment right in more detail, in this week’s episode. Remember, you can access the grievance support documents below, if you need to make a complaint at work - and if you like what we are doing, remember to like, share and subscribe to our podcast and leave us a review.

| 21 Jan 2021 | Stop! Employers Cannot Discriminate During Their Interview Processes! | 00:13:39 | |
Hi Everyone We hope you are keeping well as we try and focus our way out of this worrying pandemic. This week we’re still looking at age discrimination, but this time we look at age discrimination in recruitment and selection processes, because it is still against the law - or the Equality Act (2010) in particular, to fail to recruit someone to a job because of anything to do with their age, or because of a belief or bias of the recruiter, that person is too old or too young for the job. We look at this principle using a recent case that was successful at an Employment Tribunal. If something like this has happened to you… you should consider seeking legal advice from ACAS, a Citizens Advice bureaus or a law centre, if you decide to bring your case to an Employment Tribunal. We hope you enjoy the episode and find something useful that you can work with in this week’s episode. Remember to let others know we are here, by sharing our content and leaving us a review about the podcast on iTunes or anywhere else where you’re listening and where you can leave a review. We’d love you to share your views with us and tell us what you think about the podcast. Until next week Thanks for listening Bye for now.

Finally, in next week’s podcast, we’ll be looking at Public Interest Disclosures or Whistleblowing, and how you can use the law to protect yourself at work – in the face of serious unethical conduct.

| 06 May 2020 | #14: Why Have Tribunal Deadlines Become Important During the Covid-19 Lockdown? | 00:16:01 | |
Hi Everyone I hope you’re continuing to keep yourself safe and that you’re doing well. The government have been pretty quiet this week, in relation to employment rights and covid-19 news. Not much has come out at all since our podcast last week, but you can bet that there is much churning going on in government, when the question of how to open up society and get people back to work in a safe way, is discussed. One good thing that has come up this week, is the recommendation that employment tribunals extend their deadlines for submitting claims rom the current three months to six months. In this weeks podcast episode, I explore this recommendation in detail looking at the implications for the current arrangements as a way to highlight why and extension in tribunal submission timelines, would really benefit workers – with benefits badly needed as a result of the impact of coronavirus working conditions.

Hey there I hope we’re all managing to stay safe in these testing times. Since we were here last week, things have certainly ramped up again. By now, as many as a fifth of the UK workforce will be working from home because of the corona virus. That’s as many as 6million workers. And as a result of this there are questions workers are raising about their employment rights, which need to be clarified, particularly after the prime minister and chancellor’s statements about payments to workers. So, this week’s episode is all about updating you and answering questions on employment matters linked to the corona virus or covid19 as it’s also commonly called. At the end of these notes, you’ll find the live links I refer to in this podcast. If you click the links, you’ll go straight to the resources I mention in the podcast.

Remember, we are here to support you if you have any questions that relate to your employment rights and any questions about your working life or career. This week, we’re looking at a question that has come up for several people in our community who asked questions about what they need to do if they have left a job on bad terms with the employer and the employer is delaying or refusing to give them their P45 to smooth out the start of their new job. The question was whether there was a work around for this problem. So… in this week’s episode, we give you three workarounds you can use to fix the situation of not having a P45. There are two links below, to the forms mentioned in the podcast. Click the links to take you to the relevant internet sites.

Hi there Welcome to episode 5 of the podcast. This week we continue on from last week's episode about 'Workers' Rights', to look at the top 11 rights you need to know about if you're an employee.

Don’t forget that you can still get your hands on two freebies to help you with your employment rights. I’ve created a complaints cheat sheet to help you navigate complaints you’re making at work.

| 11 Feb 2021 | What Do You Do If Your Employer Forces Your Redundancy Without Consultation! | 00:13:58 | |
Hi Everyone We hope you are continuing to keep safe, as we edge closer to resuming our post covid lives. This week we take a brief look at redundancy rights, against the backdrop of the collapse of the Arcadia Group, which was owned by Sir Phillip Green – and which now places the redundancy rights of 12,000 workers, in a precarious position. That position focuses on whether those redundancy rights have been breached and what the likely outcome will be for the taxpayer, if the government ends up footing the bill on this matter. You can refer to the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast, for any additional help you may need with raising a complaint about unfair treatment at work. There’s a really good download that can help you to raise a grievance at work, so you can ask your employer to investigate your concerns. Just head to the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast and you’ll find the links there. On a final note, please spare a moment to like and share the podcast with others and to leave us a review on ITunes or anywhere else where you’re listening to the podcast. Thanks for listening and have a great week. Bye for now.

| 27 Aug 2020 | #30: The 10 Types of Leave From Your Job, That You Need to Know About! | 00:15:57 | |
P30 The 10 Different Types of Time Off From Work You Need to Know About Hi Everyone I hope you’re having a positive employment rights week. This week… as we start to move back into employment proper, we’re going to look at the ten different types of time off from work that you need to know about. Time off from work is one of the most contested areas of a workers working life, and the reasons for this are because a lot of employers and most workers are not fully aware of the different types of leave, nor the entitlement criteria that surrounds that leave - and because of this, workers lose out on legal leave entitlement and paid leave entitlement, to the tune of £9 billion per year. This week we take a brief look at the different types of entitlement. In the next few podcasts, we will then look at each of these areas in more detail. We hope you find something useful that you can work with in this week’s episode. Remember to let others know we are here, by sharing our content and leaving us a review about the podcast on iTunes or anywhere else where you’re listening … and where you can leave a review. We’d love to know what you think. For now … we’ll be here next week, when we’ll delve into another podcast dealing with everything about employment rights and your job …explained in a common-sense way.

| 24 Sep 2020 | #34: What You Need to Know About Dependent(s) Leave! | 00:14:49 | |
Hi there I hope you are having a positive employment rights week. This week we continue our series… looking in detail at the different types of paid and unpaid leave that you may be entitled to receive at work. In this week’s episode …we take a look at the top seven things you need to know about … if you want to take emergency time off to care for family and dependents… more commonly known as dependent leave. Dependent leave is time off from work that you can legally take, to deal with an emergency involving a dependent. A dependant could be a child, grandchild, spouse, a parent or anyone who would normally or reasonably rely on you for assistance. There is no legal amount of time off you can take, but your employer is expected to allow you enough time off to deal with the emergency. Legally, your employer does not have to pay you when you are off but your contract of employment should tell you how your employer’s dependent leave process works. In this week’s episode, we look at the seven key pieces of employment rights information you need to know about dependent leave. After listening to this week’s episode, if you feel you have been denied your dependent leave rights, the first thing you need to consider is submitting a complaint or a grievance to ask the employer to look at the issue. To help you with this, included in the podcast notes for this episode are some grievance templates that you can use to help you write your letter. Just scroll down to the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast and press the ‘See More’ button, and you will see the live links that will take you to some helpful Grievance support templates and other information.

I hope you’re having a positive employment rights week. This week we’re looking at the arrangements for dealing with bullying and harassment at work … as people start returning to work in greater numbers.

In this week’s episode, we look at the definitions of bullying and harassment; we also look at examples of some of the behaviour associated with being bullied or harassed at work; and, finally, we look at how you can challenge bullying or harassment in the workplace. The key point to remember, is that you should not put up with bullying or harassment, and the way to break free from this treatment - is to tell someone! If the information in this podcast resonates for you and you want to raise a grievance - included in the podcast notes for this episode are some grievance templates that you can use to help you with this. Just scroll down to the bottom of the notes and press the ‘See More’ button, and you will see the live links that will take you some helpful Grievance support templates and information. I hope you find something useful that you can work with in this week’s episode. Remember to let others know we are here, by sharing our content and leaving us a review about the podcast on iTunes - if you like what you hear. We’ll be here next week, when we’ll delve into another podcast dealing with everything employment rights and the job. Thanks for listening Bye for now.

| 30 Apr 2020 | #13: Conduct at Work and the Corona Virus | 00:15:23 | |
Hey there I hope your doing well and managing to stay safe, in what could well be the sixth week of working from home for some and several weeks into lockdown for most people. I wanted to touch on a question that came up in a conversation I was having with someone making an enquiry about their employment rights. The question was - whether his employer would find out that he had received a police fine for breaking lockdown restrictions. And, whilst my answer to that question was that I didn’t know, it did raise other points of concern for me because even though we are all on lockdown and we haven’t seen our workplaces for several weeks - if we are still employed - then we are still bound by our employer’s code of conduct. So this week, I want to talk about problems that could arise when you mix conduct at work with being on lockdown. Things may be tough whilst you’re on lockdown. But if you’re still tied to your employer, and therefore you need to be aware of your conduct both during and after working hours, to be sure you don’t fall foul of breaching behaviour policies at work. On a final note - don’t forget to tell people we’re here. You can do this by sharing details of the podcast with your friends so we can reach as many people as possible. Thanks for listening and continue to stay safe. Bye for now.

| 20 Feb 2020 | #3: Lodging a Grievance About Discrimination Following a Recruitment Excercise | 00:27:18 | |
Hi there Welcome to this week's edition of the podcast. This week we’re looking at the six steps you need to take to make a complaint about discriminatory treatment at work. To help you I’ve created two templates you can download and use straight away. You can get the downloads here So in last week’s podcast, we took a brief look at the employment rights you have before you start working for a prospective employer. We looked at this based on the assumption that you are an external person outside the company, applying for a job with a new employer. Simultaneously to this, we also looked at your protection under the Equality Act 2010, because you belong to one of the 9 Protected Characteristic groups. In this week’s episode we stick with the same subject, but this time we look at your employment rights as a member of a Protected Characteristic Group, when you believe your employer has discriminated against you during the recruitment and selection process, after you applied for a job within the company. We look at the grievance and appeal steps you can take and we also take a brief look at the Employment Tribunal steps you can take to make a complaint about. There are two letter templates you can download, that accompany this episode. You can download a grievance letter and a grievance appeal letter template by hitting this link: These templates can be adapted for any grievance and appeal situation you may be facing. I hope you find them useful.

| 02 Jul 2020 | #22: Constructive Dismissal: This Week We're Answering a Listener's Question! | 00:14:39 | |
Hey everyone I hope you are doing okay, and if you have returned to work, I hope you are able to navigate the new normal. Last week we received a question from a listener … who listened to the first podcast and posed the following question: “Hi. I was being investigated for something that happened at work and then I was being picked on by my boss, we had an argument and I walked out because I was tired of being bullied by people at work who keep telling lies about me to the boss so I will be sacked. I spoke to my boss about this three months ago, but instead of doing something about it he just lets them make more allegations against me and keeps on investigating me. It’s never-ending. Is there anything I can do about this because I feel I have lost my job through no fault of my own?” So, this week we focus on answering this question in terms of the steps we advised the worker to take. We hope you find the information useful. We encourage you to keep sharing the podcast details so we can reach a wider audience of people who may be struggling with their employment rights. We also encourage you to keep sending us your questions and comments; and, to leave us a review, wherever you're listening to this podcast. Bye for now

| 18 Feb 2021 | Pregnant and Made Redundant. Here’s What to Look For! | 00:13:28 | |
Hi Everyone We hope you are continuing to pursue your right to be fairly treated at work, as the number of redundancies continue to rise. Now, here at ERO, we appreciate that businesses have to make tough decisions at this time, and this will inevitably include people being made redundant. Were we have concerns however, is not with the decisions businesses need to take… but how those decisions are executed. This week we bring you a case of a worker who was never told she was going to be made redundant and instead, thought she had a job and was merely furloughed because of covid. The worker was pregnant and believed the employer chose her for redundancy because of her pregnancy, which if true, would be illegal under the Equality Act 2010. You can refer to the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast, for any additional help you may need with raising a complaint about unfair treatment at work. There’s a really good download that can help you to raise a grievance at work, so you can ask your employer to investigate your concerns. Just head to the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast and you’ll find the links there. On a final note, please spare a moment to like and share the podcast with others and to leave us a review on ITunes or anywhere else where you’re listening to the podcast. Thanks for listening and have a great week. Bye for now.

Hi everyone I hope you are doing okay, as we enter the 11th week of lockdown. As employers scrabble to get everyone back to work, I want to talk about pregnancy-related employment rights, because … well… I’ve had a number of queries about whether the rights of women would change if women are pregnant and are now returning back to work after lockdown. The short answer to the questio is 'Yes', and in this week's episode, I talk about the two risk assessments an employer needs to undertake, to make sure all aspects of health and safety are explored and addressed, as part of the employer's duty to ensur the safety of workers who are pregnant. We hope you enjoy the episode and would really encourage you to keep sending us your questons and comments; and, to consider leaving us a review, whereever you're listening to this podcast.

| 14 Jan 2021 | The One About Discrimination Not Being Permissible in Your Workplace Social Media Group | 00:14:44 | |
Hi Everyone We hope you are having a productive employment rights week. This week, whilst we are still in our discrimination mode, we just want to touch on something that came up in one of our discussions, which involved someone looking for advice after being dismissed for making inappropriate comments in a social media group. If you thought that your comments in your group were private, especially when you make those comments outside of working hours, then you may need to review your understanding. We hope this episode helps with that. If you have been on the receiving end of this kind of treatment, you should consider submitting a grievance asking your employer to investigate your complaint. You can refer to the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast, for help with making your complaint. We have included some handy grievance help documents with this episode, which you can access using the download links in the show notes. And that’s it for this week. We hope you find something useful that you can work with in this week’s episode. Remember to let others know we are here, by sharing our content and leaving us a review about the podcast on iTunes or anywhere else where you’re listening and where you can leave a review.

| 06 Aug 2020 | #27: Zero Hours Contracts & Calculating Fair Rates of Holiday Pay! | 00:13:46 | |
Hi Everyone In this week’s podcast, I make a quick reference to the new guidance that has just been issued by central government …about calculating statutory holiday pay. The regulations were actually updated on 06/04/2020. Whereas calculations for holiday pay, for people on fixed hours and rates of pay, has always been relatively standard, for people who work irregular hours or who are on Zero Hours Contracts, this has not been the case. There have been long standing disputes about how holiday pay is worked out for this latter group of workers, and it’s this particular dispute, which the new regulations were created to address. If the information in this podcast resonates for you and you want to raise a grievance - included in the podcast notes for this episode are some grievance templates that you can use to help you with this. Just scroll down to the bottom of the notes and press the ‘See More’ button, and you will see the live links that will take you some helpful Grievance support templates and information.

| 18 Jun 2020 | #20: Constructive Dismissal and Post-Lockdown Returns to Work! | 00:20:29 | |
Hi Everyone I hope you are managing to stay sane, as we move to the 13th week of lockdown.! This week we have seen increased numbers of people going back to work after the lockdown, and with that comes complaints by workers, that their employers are attempting to alter their contracts, to take account of the new normal working conditions. Now naturally, workers are worried about their employment rights, and what it will mean, if employers push them to accept new working terms or conditions or even changes to their contact. So this week, we’re going to look at employment rights in relation to forced contact changes and how workers are protected by being able to leave their jobs and claim constructive dismissal as a response to their employer’s behaviour. We hope you enjoy the episode and would really encourage you to share the podcast details, to keep sending us your questions and comments; and, to leave us a review, wherever you're listening to this podcast.

| 24 Mar 2022 | #112: I’m Being Bullied By A Clique of Colleagues at Work. Why is This Happening to Me? Why Are They Choosing to Bully Me! | 00:11:44 | |
Hi everyone Your employment rights are as important to your job as the wages you earn. Don’t let anyone stop you from spending time on them. This week we’re answering another frequently asked question, which was asked by several of our listeners… The question came in several different forms, but in effect, what was being asked was… “I’m being bullied by a clique of people at my workplace and now I don’t want to go back. Why is this happening to me!” In next week’s episode, we’ll answer the second part of the question, which is about who the people are who are engaged in clique bullying, and what the members of the clique get out of bullying you. We want to say a big thank you to all you who registered for our bullying surgery. We’re sorry we couldn’t take everyone this round, but we will be hosting the surgery again in the second half of the year. If you want to be sure to secure your place for that surgery, keep listening to the podcast and sign up for our weekly employment rights newsletter at https://employmentrightsonline.com/newsletter We’ll also put the link in the show notes for this podcast episode. What we hope you get out of this week’s episode is a realisation that being bullied at work by a group of people is real, it’s hurtful and its harmful - and that if this is happening to you, the first step is to call it out for what it is. We hope this podcast episode helps you to do just that. Until next week Have a great employment rights week Bye for now

HI Everyone In this week’s episode, we’re looking at the issue of employers who pay your wages or salary late. We also take a look at your employment rights, and what you can do to challenge late payments. When almost 5 out of 10 workers have had to deal with late payments during the life of their employment, this is an important topic that we need to talk about, as the cashflows of workers begin to feel the impact of the coming ‘cost of living’ rises. What we hope you take away from this episode… is the confidence … that if you are regularly being paid late or not being paid at all … for work completed… there is a course of action you can take to challenge this treatment. Please don’t suffer in silence. If you need help with organising your thoughts or evidence into a complaint… you can download our Employment Rights Online checklist of 15 smart actions that you can use to help you challenge bullying, unfair and illegal treatment at work. You’ll also find the link to that download in the show notes for this episode. Until next week Have a great employment rights week Bye for now

| 21 Apr 2022 | #116: I Left My Job Because I Wasn’t Paid Properly By My Employer. Is This Constructive Dismissal! | 00:13:21 | |
Hi there Last week we looked at the issue of workers who regularly receive their wages and salaries late or not at all. We also looked at the initial steps you can take if this happens to you. In this week’s podcast episode, we want to focus on how a failure of your employer to pay your wages, becomes a complaint of constructive dismissal and what your next steps should be, if this happens to you. What we hope you get out of this week’s episode is information you need to challenge your employer’s breach of your contract to pay you as agreed. Please don’t suffer in silence. If you need help with organising your thoughts or evidence into a complaint, you can download our Employment Rights Online checklist of 15 smart actions that you can use to help you challenge bullying, unfair and illegal treatment at work.

| 28 Apr 2022 | #117: Am I Being Expected to Work Longer Hours at Home? Do I Have A Right to Disconnect From the System? What Are My Rights Here! | 00:14:50 | |
Hi there In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the new normal of employers expecting you to plug into online office meeting systems like Teams… Zoom… Asana… and Go Webinar… as early as possible… and then logging off as late as possible… as a way of proving that you are working hard enough or long enough to be worthy of the salaries you are being paid. And under these testing circumstances, workers are asking whether they have an employment right to disconnect from the services at the end of their contracted working hours. What we hope you get from this week’s episode, is some recognition that felling unable to disconnect or being required to remain connected to your office online work system outside of your working hours, is a thing, and that’s its wrong - and also, that there are things you can do about these types of bad practices. Also, you that you can find all our support links at the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast episode. Until next week Have a great employment rights week Bye for now

| 12 May 2022 | #119: Please Help! Is My Boss Just Tough Or Is My Boss A Bully! | 00:12:16 | |
This week we tackle a question that came out of our Bullying Surgery, which took place in March 2022. The question related to the behaviour of bosses and managers at work and the question that was asked, was ‘How can you tell if your boss is just a tough boss, or if your boss is a bully’. In this episode, we take you through some key difference between the two different types of bosses, to give you pointers to look for. What we hope you take away from this week’s episode, is to believe in yourself and your experiences and to trust your gut. If it feels like things have moved away from tough to bullying, use this episode to review the differences and then make the decision to speak to someone about what is happening to you - so you get your support pointing in the right direction - at the earliest opportunity!

| 19 May 2022 | #120: Is Your Company Demanding You Stick to a Workplace Dress Code? Here's What Your Employment Rights Say You Can Do About This! | 00:11:57 | |
Hi there We hope you’re employment rights week hasn’t been too stressful. Remember, you can use your employment rights to get that stressing colleague to back off. Firstly, it would really help us for you to tell other people, about this podcast so we can help more people. You can find all our contact and support links at the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast episode. Just scroll down for links to share the podcast with your family friends and colleagues and if you have an iTunes or now called an Apple Music account… please leave us a review if you like what we are doing. This week we’re looking at how dress codes can be used to demand you wear certain clothing at work and how your employment rights can help you to challenge this. We look at the differences for you, between a legal dress code requirement or a workplace dress code policy. And lastly, we take a look at what action you can take, if you feel you are unfairly affected by a dress code policy. Our take aways from this week’s episode are that you are not frightened off from looking at any workplace dress code, if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Although your employer has a legal duty to provide you with protective clothing, which you must wear to do your job - beyond this your employer can have a policy about what you wear, but that policy cannot unnecessarily impose on your legal protected characteristic rights.

| 02 Jun 2022 | #122: You’ve Been Suspended From Work and You Think It’s Unfair. Here’s How To Find Your Evidence of Unfairness! | 00:14:24 | |
Hi there We hope you are having a positive employment rights week. This week, we’re into part two of three of our miniseries looking at suspensions and in particular, what to look for as evidence that your suspension might be unfair. In this episode, we’ll look at seven key actions your employer should take to evidence fairness of your suspension – actions that you need to be aware of if you want to check that your suspension has been handled fairly. The take away for this week, is that, for your employer to maintain that duty of mutual trust and confidence, under no circumstances should you be suspended as punishment during the course of an investigation. Neither should your suspension be allowed to prejudice the investigation into your alleged misconduct, or influence the person who will be dealing with your disciplinary, or influence the way in which that person will deal with your disciplinary. At all times, your suspension should imply no fault or guilt about you. Remember, if you like what we are doing, it would really help us if you to tell other people, about this podcast so we can help more people.

Hi There Remember to use your employment rights to protect your right to work in peace. You are entitled to do this, even when things have gone wrong at work. This week, we are into the final part of our mini-series on suspensions, where we take a look at what you need to be aware of, when you are returned to work after a suspension. This return to work period can be a bit tricky because you almost feel like you are under a microscope. So, we take you through six actions you can take, to reduce opportunities for problems to occur. If we can reduce back to work frictions, this will give you the time, to settle and work towards things getting back to normal. Our take aways for this week are, that if you are returned to work after a suspension, you need to be alert to the next steps you may have to take irrespective of whether you are found innocent of allegations made against you or the allegations against you have been proven. The key is to know what is expected of you. As usual, you that you can find all our support links at the bottom of these show notes where you’re listening to this podcast episode and remember to like… comment…subscribe and let others know about the podcast.

Our take aways for this week are – that, you have a legal right to be accompanied at any meeting where decisions will be taken about conduct or performance, and after making a reasonable request to be accompanied your employer must - not may - but must allow you to be accompanied. In next week’s episode, we’ll look at how your chosen person to accompany you can help you in your formal meeting. Until next week Have a great employment rights week Bye for now

Hi there We hope you’re having a problem free employment rights week. Wouldn’t it be great, to just get a break! This week, we just want to touch on something that came out of one of our previous episodes, which has to do with reasonable adjustments at interview. It seems that many of our listeners were not aware that you can expect a prospective employer to make reasonable adjustments for you, to enable you to attend an interview with them and compete on an equitable footing with other candidates who don’t need any reasonable adjustments for their interviews. And also, that you can require those reasonable adjustments to be made by the employer by law - and the law we are referring to here, is the Equalities Act 2010. In this episode we take you through the top 5 reasonable adjustments which you could ask for, to support you to complete on an equitable footing at your interview and during your interview. You can find all our support links at the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this week’s episode, which includes our Free checklist on the top 15 things you can do, if you need to bring a complaint at work. We also include some template letters you can use to write your complaint.

| 11 Aug 2022 | #132: Can You Be Disciplined or Sacked Because Others Made Offensive Comments to Your Angry Social Media Post About Your Boss. Here’s What You Need to Know! | 00:17:22 | |
Hi there We hope you are able to use your employment rights to support your right to fair treatment at work. This is your legal entitlement. In last week’s episode, we looked at what could happen if you use your private social media accounts to make negative comments not just about work, but negative comments that could affect the reputation of the company you work for. We also look at whether the company has a right to sack you for this, even though your comments are made from your own private social media account. This week we answer the question posed to us last week regarding whether you can be disciplined or sacked for complaining about workplace issues on social media – with a twist! The twist is whether you can then be held responsible and disciplined or sacked, for any negative comments in support of your posts, which come from friends and others on your feed, which your company may see as an act of misconduct. You can find all our support links at the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this week’s episode, which includes our Free checklist on the top 15 things you can do, if you need to bring a complaint at work. We also include some template letters you can use to write your complaint. Remember, you can help us by sharing our podcast information with your friends and colleagues and by leaving us a review on ITunes. Until next week… have a great employment rights week Bye for now.

Hi there We hope you are having a problem free employment rights week. Wouldn’t it be great, to just get a break …from bad behaviour at work! This week, as we move nearer towards the launch of our Bullying Course, which is part of our Bullying Surgery services, we take a look at narcissistic workplace bullying, which is perhaps one of the most difficult forms of bullying you will ever have to deal with at work. Why? Because a narcissistic workplace bully will break all the universal moral codes to get to you and bully the life out of you, just for the hell of it. Our take aways for this week’s episode are, that there are different types of bullies in the workplace and when you are dealing with a narcissistic workplace bully you are dealing with a unique set of challenges because of the persistent and deliberate attempts by this type of bully, to degrade you into submitting to their self-importance. We will be dealing with all this in our forthcoming Bullying Course which launches in October 2022. If you would like more information… you can contact Employment Rights Online at employmentrightsonline@gmail.com. You can find all your support links at the bottom of these show notes and …you can help us by sharing our podcast information with your friends and colleagues and by leaving us a review on iTunes.

| 13 Oct 2022 | #141: Micro Managing You to Within An Inch of Your Life… This is a Form of Bullying. Here’s What You Need to Know! | 00:14:06 | |
Hi there We hope you are able to use your employment rights to protect yourself at work. You have a right to do this. This week, we’re looking at the bullying act of micromanaging you at work. This is a form of bullying that is meant to crush your spirit under the weight of a boss who has an excessive presence in everything you do. Being bullied by a micromanager is when your manager feels the need to control parts of your work and control the way in which you do your work - with the pressure on you being watched becoming so extreme, that it feels oppressive and unhealthy. We share the things you need to look out for and the three simple steps you need to take to keep yourself safe at work. Places for our bullying course have now closed. Apologies if you didn’t get a place this time. The doors will open again in a few months’ time and if you are on our waiting list, we’ll be in touch. If you didn’t make it onto the course but you would still like support, we’ll be holding our second bullying surgery at the end of November 2022, where you can speak about your bullying experiences in a safe space and get the support you need to take next steps. You can bring your bullying and workplace problems into the space where you will be supported by our employment rights expert. Look out for the information on the surgery on our social media pages and in our newsletter. We would love to see you there. If you want more information about our Bullying Surgery… you can contact us at employmentrightsonline@gmail.com The Bullying Surgery will take place at the end of November 2022. As usual you can find all our support links at the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this week’s podcast episode and you can help us by sharing our podcast information with your friends and colleagues and by leaving us a review on iTunes or a rating on Spotify.

| 20 Oct 2022 | #142: What Information Is My Employer Collecting About Me? Do I Have Rights! | 00:12:13 | |
Hi there We hope you are able to access your employment rights at work, to provide yourself some security in these uncertain times. Don’t be put off into thinking there is no point. This is exactly what your employer wants you to think! We want to start by saying thank you, to everyone who stayed with us during our bullying series. Thank you for your comment and your queries. If you want to follow the latest developments around bullying, you can pick this up on our TikTok, Instagram and Facebook social media pages. We’ll also be returning to the bullying question as we move closer to our Bullying Surgery event at the end of November 2022, and at the next launch of our Bullying course in several weeks’ time. This week we start a miniseries looking at your employment rights and the collection of your personal data at work. The data your employer holds about you, is often something you don’t think about until you see your private information splashed across a random table at work, or you hear or overhear something very personal about you, being spoken about by your colleagues – something which only your manager and a select small group of people should know about. You get upset, but you don’t know what to do about this. We’ll be covering this, in this data and employment rights mini series. Remember to look out for the information about our Bullying Surgery on our social media pages and in our newsletter. We would love to see you there. The Bullying Surgery will take place at the end of November 2022.

Hi there When your bully seems to act as if you are the workplace entertainment… it’s time to put yourself first… and take steps to put them on show. Firstly, not great news. Unfortunately, we have been hit by the covid bug and this has affected our team, to the extent that we have to cancel our Bullying Surgery. We are a small but mighty team, but this one has sent us to ground including the late uploading of this week’s podcast episode, which had to be delayed to include this short message. We send our sincere apologies for this. We’ll be writing to all our surgery registrants to let you know what the next steps will be… and we’ll try to reschedule the surgery as soon as possible in 2023. This week we look at the lifespan of a workplace bully. The lifespan of a workplace bully refers to the ways in which your bully can develop skills and systems of bullying over long periods of time where their behaviour remains unchallenged. We also look at the top 3 actions your bully will use to extend their bullying lifespan, so you can spot them and take action against them If you would like help or support to speak up you can register your interest in the next bullying surgery at employmentrightsonline@gmail.com. Our next surgery will be in early 2023. Alternatively, you can book an employment rights consultation with our employment rights experts who will support you to draw up a plan of action to help you speak up.

| 29 Dec 2022 | #152: As We Move Into 2023, Positive Changes to Your Flexible Working Rights Are On the Way. Here’s What’s Coming! | 00:12:29 | |
As we move into a new employment rights year, keep your wits about you as attempts are made by others, to strip away rights which were hard fought for to protect you at work. Hi there As we near 2023, we thought we would take a quick look at the employment rights changes that will be coming to your flexible working rights in 2023. There is no doubt that covid changed the way a large proportion of the workforce now works, and those changes are unlikely to be going anywhere any time soon. But, it may be surprised to know, that some of those changes are not part of your employment rights and you therefore have no right to request certain types of flexible working. In this week’s episode, we review the types of flexible working that will be covered by the proposed new legislation, and we shed light on what your employer will be expected to do, to ensure your full access, to your right to request flexible working. Remember… you can find all your support links at the bottom of these show notes and if you would like to book a consultation with us to look at bullying issues, you can email us at employmentrightsonline@gmail.com. Alternatively, you can go directly to our consultations bookings page using the ‘Bullying Consultations link in these show notes.

| 19 Jan 2023 | #154: There Are New Redundancy Employment Protections Coming to You in 2023. Here’s What You Need to Know! | 00:11:50 | |
Hi there We hope the start to your new employment year has been both helpful and hopeful of good treatment throughout your time at work. That is the least you should expect, when you agree to spend eight or more hours away from your home and your family. This week we continue our mini-series on the new employment rights coming your way in 2023. We are looking at the changes coming to your redundancy rights. A new employment rights bill is making its way through parliament. That bill is called the Protection from Redundancy Bill. But what the bill is really focused on is the protection of pregnancy and family leave where redundancy is a factor and the introduction of new extensions to prevent you being made redundant for six months after you return from maternity, adoption or parental leave.

| 02 Feb 2023 | #156: Here’s a Bit of Good News About Bully Bosses Who Threaten to Sack You If You Don’t Accept Poorer Terms and Conditions. It Just Got a Bit Harder For Them to Do This! Here's Why! | 00:15:21 | |
Hey there We hope you are growing in faith and confidence about the importance of using your employment rights to put your employer on notice about you right to be treated fairly and respectfully at work. This week we go back to an employment rights issue which has recently seen a development in the publication of a draft code of practice on fire and rehire procedures, which is out for consultation until 18th April 2023. The draft code sets out employers’ responsibilities when seeking to change employment terms and conditions, if there is the prospect of dismissal and re-engagement. It requires employers to consult staff and explore alternative options, without using the threat of dismissal to pressure employees to agree new terms. In this week’s episode, we look at the draft code in more detail and we explore the requirements which will be placed on employers to ensure employees are treated fairly in fire and rehire situations. Remember, you can find all your support links at the bottom of these show notes and if you would like to book a consultation with us to look at bullying or abuse which you may be suffering at work, or any other employment rights concern you may have, you can email us at employmentrightsonline@gmail.com.

Hi Everyone Sometimes, all you have left are your employment rights, when those responsible for a duty of care towards you seem to have abandoned you to your own fate. Don’t be frightened to use those rights. This week, we want to talk about the extraordinary thorny subject of ghost jobs - something which has seen an equally extraordinary rise since we came out of lockdown.

We take you through the whole sorry mess, in this week’s podast.
