    Hi, as the law has changed on how part time workers or zero hours contracts, if you are contracted for one day a week you are entitled to 5.6 days holiday. But with the changes, if you are asked to work more days how do you calculate these extra days to benefit either with extra days holiday or payment.

    Can one work an agency job during maternity leave, whilst recieving maternity leave pay.. when working for the NHS? How would this affect one's tax deductions and allowance?? Is it legal and are they loop holes?

    • @RealEmploymentLawAdvice
      @RealEmploymentLawAdvice 3 дні тому

      Doing work for another employer or doing casual agency work will not normally bring the maternity leave with the substantive employer (NHS) to an end. Th employee needs to ensure that they check their contract as they may have to notify and/or obtain permission from the substantive employer before starting work elsewhere. The position on statutory maternity pay (SMP) depends on whether the employee was working for the agency at the 15th week before the baby was due. If they were then SMP with the other employer (NHS) continues. If this is new employment then SMP with the NHS would stop when she starts the new job. The position with enhanced contractual or discretionary maternity pay from the NHS may be different and may still be paid, depending on the rules of the scheme.

    This is my first time being suspended from a job and I work with people who have mental disabilities and someone is claiming I abused them when I give the utmost care to the clients. But the supervisors cannot say who or what it was but I will only get paid 5 days and after that just have to wait to hear back but never in my life 😞

    Your Dismissal episode was very enjoyable for me. I would be interested in seeing another episode focusing on automatic dismissal, such as whistleblowing. I think that having you physically present in the episodes would enhance the content and bring a positive energy. Overall, your presentation style is distinct and effective.

    Hi Alison - I'm a claimant. Should I be preparing a 'final statement' which sums up everything? Nobody really mentions this online so I'm unsure. My witness statement has a strong conclusion, but am I right that there's an opportunity for each party to summarise their case? And if yes, is this read out by each party or submitted in writing like the witness statements? Thanks!

    Thank you for the amazing videos Alison. So beneficial for me to prepare my hearing.. I have a quick question if you don't mind. I already had the first PH and the Respondent wanted to bring 7 people for my final hearing but did not mention the people's names specifically. Could you kindly advise if it is okay to ask their names and why they need it for the second PH scheduled next month to be agreed again? Thank you! :-)

    Hello, hope you can help or share opinion is it lawful for employer to ban smart watches in a call centre? (DWP). Also to enforce workers to wear badges on lanyard around the neck, even whilst sat down at their desk, so it cannot be rested on the desk, but is obligatory to be worn around the neck. Is there any reading on the subject I looked online could not find any information about it. The call ctr I work for currently has those rules. Plus locking mobile phone away in a locker. Some of it seems too much. I was approached by compliance monitoring officer as I took lanyard off my neck whilst at desk and not on my neck even though it was right next to my hand visible on desk
