04/14/20 โข 14 min
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 employeeโs 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?

S1E44 - Furlough: Three Outstanding Issues
In this episode, Daniel Barnett discusses three further issues around the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme:-
1. When will the online portal open, and how will it work?
2. Does the furlough scheme cover employees who TUPE over after 28 February 2020?
3. Can employees take annual leave when on furlough, or will doing so break furlough?
