Absence Dismissals LIVE WEBINAR
Do you know in cases of long term absence how long must an employer wait before dismissing?

If you have answered no to the above question then viewing this LIVE webinar is essential for your understanding of this complex area of the law.

During this LIVE webinar Michael Howlin QC and David Ogilvy from Turcan Connell will discuss:
  • The issues raised by BS v Dundee City Council 2014 IRLR 131
  • Would the length of time of dismissal be different if the employee was disabled
  • Would it make a difference if the employer caused the absence
Having viewed this webinar you will have a better understanding of the following:
  • The decision of the Inner House in BS v Dundee City Council
  • The application of the test laid down in Spencer v Paragon Wallpapers and Daubney v East Lindsey District Council
  • The extent of the duty on the employer to inform themselves of the medical facts
  • The relevance of the employee’s own attitude to returning to work
  • The relevance of length of service
  • The interplay between S98 and the Equality Act in absence dismissals
  • The extent to which a tension exists between “reasonableness” for the purposes of S98 Employment Rights Act 1996 and “reasonableness” for the purposes of S20 Equality Act 2010.
