Whether you are running business, managing a team or advising clients, having a grasp of some fundamental employment law and HR best practice is an essential skillset. There are so many aspects of accountancy that overlap with HR and employment law that keeping up to date with the impact of the pandemic has become very important to professional trusted advisors.

The key areas that are going to covered in this webinar are:

The Furlough Scheme

The UK Government launched the furlough scheme in March 2020 as an alternative to UK businesses making mass redundancies in early 2020. We will cover a summary of the scheme and provide an up to date position of where the furlough scheme is, as at January 2021.

Other alternatives to redundancy

The furlough scheme is not the only alternative option to redundancy that employers have and we will have a look at other ways where redundancy might be avoided.

How to manage redundancy during lockdown

There might come a point when redundancies are unavoidable and necessary.  We will cover how to manage the process professionally and in a compliant manner.  We will cover how to deliver a redundancy process during lockdown and when people cannot meet face to face for consultation

Annualised Hours Contracts and other non-standard contracts

As flexible working becomes more normalised we will have a look at what other sort of contractual working arrangements there are to explore beyond the standard permanent full time contract. We will have a look at annualised hours contracts and the pros and cons of zero hours contracts.
