Issue 846

ILO calls for improved worker protection

This issue looks at a critique of UK employment rights, when employers can sack inflexible workers and the nexus between detriment and bonus in discrimination.

Providing effective care

A tribunal has ruled that employers can sack a worker who refuses to adopt a more flexible working pattern which is needed to achieve certain important goals.

Not disadvantaged by an advantage

When claiming indirect discrimination, the appeal tribunal has made clear that complainants cannot claim a detriment as a result of having been denied a bonus.
