Employers are at the forefront of tough decisions. When taking these decisions it is important to safeguard against exposure to additional liabilities. This could easily happen if employers are not fully aware of the consequences of their actions.
Employers need to know it they can: send people at home, or keep them at work, have to pay full pay or sick pay only, vary contracts, permanently or temporarily. They will also want to consider options to avoid losing key staff and making redundancies. What are the options when a business can no longer pay its staff?
Circumstances are changing rapidly and planning and communication are key.
