Employment Law Focus

In the latest episode of our Employment Law focus podcast, Partner, Jonathan Rennie, and Knowledge Lawyer, Victoria Wenn, discuss the recent reforms to flexible working regulations that took effect on 6th April 2024. 

Also covered are the legal and practical implications of adopting a four-day working week, something that has been introduced in several other countries, with pilots taking place in the UK already with some success. 

This episode​​​​​​​ looks at:

• The 6th of April reforms to flexible working requests, what this means for employers, and employees.
• What employers need to consider before denying a flexible working request.
• A review of ‘Wilson v FCA’, one of the first cases to consider a flexible working request to work remotely post pandemic.
• The four-day working week from an employment law perspective, with part time workers, contracts, and holiday allowance all likely to be affected.
• Plus, a discussion on ‘Manjang v Uber Eats’, and how AI poses the potential for discrimination in automated decision making.
