Can an employer be held liable for an employee’s post on social media, or for his personal views said to the press? A conflict between an employee’s out-of-work actions and an employer’s reputation can quite easily happen. Employers should ensure that they have detailed conduct policies and should take reasonable steps to ensure such policies are communicated to staff.

In this episode, Daniel Barnett talks about two harassment cases in recent months:

• Forbes v LHR Airport – Can an employer be vicariously liable for an employee’s racist Facebook post?
• Page v NHS Trust Development Authority – Can an employee be fairly dismissed for the way he expresses his beliefs, rather than the beliefs themselves?

An unauthorised absence can be deemed fair grounds for dismissal, but there could be a lot of reasons why an employee might simply not turn up for work one day - from a simple hangover, to a life threating family emergency. As an employer, it is important that you know how to avoid tribunal claims when dismissing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• why it’s dangerous to assume the employee has resigned
• whether you can argue frustration of contract, or that the employee has self-dismissed
• how to handle the inevitably artificial dismissal process

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.
