Top 10 Employment Law Matters Episodes

Goodpods has curated a list of the 10 best Employment Law Matters episodes, ranked by the number of listens and likes each episode have garnered from our listeners. If you are listening to Employment Law Matters for the first time, there's no better place to start than with one of these standout episodes. If you are a fan of the show, vote for your favorite Employment Law Matters episode by adding your comments to the episode page.

In this episode, you’ll learn how employment law might cope – or not cope – with problems presented by emerging technology, including:-

  • How people’s choice of avatars can throw up diversity issues. What happens if employees or managers ‘try on’ different skin colours?
  • Should a pregnant woman at a job interview hide the fact she’s pregnant with her avatar, or use an avatar which shows her pregnancy?
  • How does the duty to make reasonable adjustments engage when a physically disabled employee uses an able-bodied avatar?
  • Could inappropriate behaviour with an AI character (so not a real person) give rise to charges of misconduct?

Daniel discusses the topic with Tarun Tawakley from Lewis Silkin.

We're taking a break from coronavirus. Daniel asked people on twitter for a short, non-covid-19 employment law question. He picked seven replies and answered them, including:-

  • What's the law about taking time off for doctor, dentist and other appointments?
  • Would an employer be liable for an employee’s racist remark on Facebook?
  • How long must employers delay a disciplinary hearing if a trade union representative is unavailable?
  • Can you compel someone as a witness in an employment tribunal?
