Top Video Maternity rights where the mother has a miscarriage or the baby is stillborn or dies XpertHR's head of content Jo Stubbs and senior employment law editor Clio Springer discuss maternity rights where the mother has a miscarriage or the baby is stillborn or dies after birth. Top Casenotes Employer's liability: Weddall v Barchester Healthcare Ltd; Wallbank v Wallbank Fox Designs Ltd The Court of Appeal affirms that an employer's vicarious liability for a violent assault on another employee or third party will depend on whether or not the unlawful act was sufficiently closely connected with the employment. Redundancy: Capita Hartshead Ltd v Byard The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) holds that the employer's failure to include in a redundancy selection pool employees doing similar work to the dismissed employee rendered her dismissal for redundancy unfair. Working time: NHS Leeds v Larner The Court of Appeal holds that an NHS worker who was absent for the whole leave year and who did not submit any requests for annual leave during her absence was entitled to holiday pay on the termination of her employment. Redundancy: Welch v Taxi Owners Association (Grangemouth) Ltd In holding that an employer did not fundamentally breach an employee's contract by failing to make her redundant, the EAT suggests that a redundancy situation will not arise where there is only a diminution in an employer's need for particular work to be carried out, rather than a reduction in the number of employees required to do that work.

We provide a summary and the full transcript of an interesting tribunal ruling involving sabotage of a heterosexual employee's Facebook page to suggest that he was gay. ...and security firm could not buy out workers' statutory minimum holiday In a further tribunal case, the tribunal ruled that a security firm was not legally permitted to buy out its workers' statutory minimum holiday entitlement.
