With the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the UK, you might find yourself having to take time off work. During this time, it is important to know your rights to sick pay if you cannot work due to COVID-19.
With the UK in lockdown, there’s no denying the impact this will have on businesses in the coming weeks and months. From sick pay to homeworking, for employees and employers, knowing your rights and obligations during this time is crucial.
We are pleased to announce that we have recently settled a case against a Magic Circle law firm in which a senior male employee was repeatedly asked to confirm when he planned to retire so they could put in place some succession planning. He was then forced to accept a retirement date when he was 67. Cavendish Employment Law successfully claimed this amounted to unlawful age discrimination and settled the case for £250,000 without even needing to issue proceedings.
