COVID-19 SUPPORT SERIES: Planning Ahead & Minimising Risk For Your Employees Returning to Work

There are significant pressures on business owners, through no fault of their own because of COVID-19. The disruption came suddenly and might end suddenly… or not. Either way, businesses must be ready to welcome their workforce to the new normal. This could mean back to the office, working remotely or a hybrid model. Therefore, being able to plan ahead and minimise the risk of this eventuality is important.

We’re delighted to be welcoming Dawn Robertson, partner and employment law specialist at Rooney Nimmo to host this session.  Our thanks to Dawn for kindly giving her time and giving guidance on key considerations ahead of employees returning to work.  This session will incorporate a Q & A session with plenty of opportunity to ask your employment law related questions.

Key topics Dawn will be covering include:

• • Reinstating furloughed staff
  • Flexible working requests
  • Holidays
  • Staff safety
  • Social distancing
  • Hygiene in the workplace
