These events see local HR practitioners get together to listen to local speakers, the last event featured an occupational health specialist. The talks are followed by a round table discussion, on Chatham House rules, allowing HR professionals to speak openly about challenges currently facing their business.

Thursday, 24 May 2012 For those of you who missed today's HR Networking session on employment issues arising from this summer's sporting events - including the Olympics, Paralympics and European Championship, the link to the slides is below. Issues covered include handling unauthorised absence, dealing with an influx of holiday and flexible working requests and what to do if your employees spend all day chitter chattering about the events. This provoked an interesting debate this morning and different proposals were forthcoming from employers on how best to manage issues to ensure no disruption to performance/production but at the same time not be complete party poopers! http://www.pjhlaw.co.uk/downloads/hrnetworkingmay.pptx

Wednesday, 13 March 2013 Our client's employer unilaterally reduced her hours by 10 hours per week and her pay by £0.42 per hour costing our client over £132 per week. Our client won her unauthorised deductions from wages claim and her employer has been ordered to pay her the arrears of pay owed.
Wednesday, 13 March 2013 PJH Law's client was dismissed summarily for alleged gross misconduct. PJH Law argued successfully that the Claimant's actions in incurring expenditure without express authorisation did not amount to gross misconduct in law and therefore the Claimant's dismissal was unfair. The Tribunal agreed and criticised the Employer's management of the Claimant in not making it clear what the Company's rules on the incurring of expenses were. The Claimant's award is yet to be decided at a further hearing.
Thursday, 29 November 2012 One Solictor working at PJH Law has had a run of successes acting for employers. Success has come in the form of the Claimant withdrawing when the weakness of their case has been robustly drawn to their attention. Whilst a win at Tribunal is always satisfying - a withdrawn claim saves time, cost and any stress associated with an employer having to defend a claim.
