Our next free virtual Employment Law Brunch Briefing takes place on Tuesday 2 August. This session will provide an update on the law on holiday leave and pay and will look in detail at the very recent decision of the Supreme Court in Harpur Trust v Brazel. This decision has significant holiday pay implications for employers who engage workers on ongoing contracts but where there are some non-worked weeks each year. Please click on the link below to book your place or register to access the recording.
In this month's bulletin, we consider two interesting employment tribunal decisions in the context of discrimination law. The first, Mellor v The AFG Academies Trust, considers the rights of staff who are breast-feeding. The second, Burke v Turning Point Scotland, considers the circumstances in which "long Covid" will be found to be a disability under the Equality Act 2010. Although these cases do not set a legal precedent, they provide helpful guidance for employers.
We also report on the case of Mackereth v DWP in which the EAT confirmed that a doctor's lack of belief in "transgenderism" was protected but found that he had not been discriminated against.
We are always interested in feedback or suggestions for topics that may be of interest to you, so please do get in touch.
