Legal challenge

A look through the employment law category of the Communities web area provides a snapshot of some of the procedural concerns exercising the minds of members in their day-to-day roles. Redundancy consultation, dismissal procedures and serial litigants are among the themes of recent discussion threads.

An analysis of frequently asked questions on the Employment Law at Work area of the website paints a similar picture, with Tupe, redundancy, and discipline and grievance topping the list over the past year. Tupe is perennially high on the agenda while the other enquiries reflect the economic situation and changes in grievance legislation introduced last April.
