Employment Law.

Getting your employment law contracts, policies and procedures right from the outset of setting up your business can save you time, stress and money and more importantly, help you maintain a safe, happy and productive work environment.

Examples: Counting the cost of getting it wrong ...

Aslam and others v Uber BV and others: People will be more familiar with this as the Uber case. Uber drivers regarded by the company as self-employed claimed that they were in fact workers. In the employment tribunal decision (Aslam and others v Uber BV and others), the tribunal held that the Uber drivers are workers. This means that they are entitled to receive basic worker rights such as the national minimum wage and paid annual leave.

In Turner v DHL Services Ltd and another, the claimant was awarded £257,127 over his employer’s lack of support when he went off sick as a result of work-related stress.

In Konczak v BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd, a dismissed secretary, presented complaints to the employment tribunal alleging sex discrimination, disability discrimination and unfair dismissal. The employment tribunal upheld her claims and awarded her £360,179.

In Wright and others v Purple Parking Ltd, an employer that dismissed drivers over 67 years of age after claiming that its insurance provider would not insure them, admitted liability for age discrimination and unfair dismissal midway through the drivers’ case, and was ordered to pay more than £700,000 to 20 drivers.
