The easing of lockdown…what does this mean for your business?

As of 17^th May, we have seen many of the Coronavirus restrictions lifted further with a view to eventually returning to normality. Perhaps the most notable change was the reopening of hospitality businesses, resulting in many people finally being able to return to work.

As the UK eases further out of lockdown, businesses still have many questions about the impact of COVID-19 and the lockdowns on the running of their operations, including:

• Can all employees now be forced to return to the workplace;
• What if employees refuse?
• What is the latest self-isolation/shielding guidance?
• Can a “no jab, no job” policy be enforced?

Our expert Employment & HR Team are on hand to help guide you through these difficulties and can be contacted on 01625 507 506 or email [email protected].
