Episode notes
There’s been a lot of talk in the press recently about what an employer can legally do to terminate an employee’s contract of employment where they have been charged with, or have pleaded guilty to, a criminal offence.
This has come to the fore following the UK riots, with the PM saying that the perpetrators will feel the "full force of the law."
In this episode, Joanne Moseley and Elaine Huttley discuss what employers should consider if they have a staff member who has been charged with a criminal offence, avoiding unfair dismissal claims, frustrated contracts, and more.
