Our Shoospeak HR podcast considers to what extent employers can take action against employees who break the COVID-19 regulations and rules in respect of self-isolating.
Shoosmiths colleagues Andy Graham, Amy Anderson and Amy Leech discuss the re-imposing of restrictions and heightening of sanctions imposed on employees who do not self-isolate when instructed and how self-isolation can impact on their employment. Key issues covered within this episode:
- the reasons why an employer may wish to take action against employees who break the rules
- the difficulties where conduct happens outside of the workplace and the extent to which employers can take action against employees for this
- how employers can ensure that they have fair and consistent procedures in place to deal with this situation going forwards
