Employment Law Matters

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.
