Paying Correctly During Covid-19 Isolation and Getting Permission From Staff

Paying Correctly During Covid-19 Isolation and Getting Permission From Staff

Work, Agreement

We strongly recommend that all employers consider their legal obligations and risk regarding any pay changes made during the isolation period.

We would all like to think that commonsense and integrity would be exercised by both employers and employees at this time – unfortunately in hindsight this may not always be the case.

Liz Mackay, Managing Director at HRtoolkit Limited has provided us with a newsletter which contains some really good content to help you make decisions about how to deal with the isolation period payments to staff.

The newsletter contains is a Free Template for a staff agreement to pay changes for the isolation period.  In addition, there is a really useful Q & A topic section which covers a large number of the questions we have been asked recently.

The team at HRtoolkit Ltd will be keeping this content updated with any changes, so feel free to bookmark this link for up-to-date employment information relating to the isolation period.

This newsletter is provided as supplementary information and if you wish to discuss any issues please do not hesitate to contact us.
