New Employment Insights Video – Furlough and Maternity Rights

Employment Insights is a series of short Q&A videos aimed at providing practical advice and guidance to workers, employees and employers who are concerned about employment rights and employment law developments during the coronavirus outbreak.

A bank holiday bonus video is now live! Louise Quigley and Amy Smith have created a short webinar on furlough and maternity. We have consolidated all the furlough maternity queries from the insights inbox into three key questions:

Can an employee on maternity leave be furloughed? (1:22)
Are allowances and pay protected during furlough? (3:00)
Can an employer require a pregnant woman to attend work or not? (4:53)

You can review Louise and Amy's profiles on our Employment Page.

To submit a question for discussion please send an email to employmentinsights@9sjs.com. To see more of the Employment Insights series click here.

Elizabeth represented the Claimant who had been injured during the course of her employment with the Second Defendant as a "bus shunter". The Claimant originally pursued a claim against the First Defendant, as owner/occupier of the premises, and the Second Defendant, as her employer. The Second Defendant in turn brought a CPR 20.6 claim for contribution/indemnity against the First Defendant on the basis that, as the employer, it had no control over the workplace, premises, equipment, devices and systems.
