Event Venue and Description – Webinar

Join Acas and employment law experts, Collingwood Legal as they lead you through a mock employment tribunal concerning an unfair dismissal claim exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This informative and myth-busting virtual event will give you the opportunity, within a safe environment, to see how an employment tribunal works and how decisions are reached.

The coronavirus pandemic has presented many challenges for businesses. Employers continue to make very difficult employment decisions at pace often with limited knowledge.

The consequences of getting it wrong can be costly. The estimated cost to employers of defending a claim at employment tribunal is around £10,000. Losing a claim may cost significantly more.

Acas, along with Collingwood Legal Principal Solicitor Paul McGowan and colleagues, will take you through a role play scenario that occurred at the outset of lockdown and the inception of the Governments furlough scheme.

Delivered via zoom, this 3hr event is based on a fictional employment tribunal claim concerning unfair dismissal. Is this a straightforward misconduct case or has the employer sought a quick way out to avoid any responsibilities associated with the furlough scheme? You’ll will weigh up the evidence and decide the outcome.

You’ll also learn how tribunals are adapting to digital hearings and can put questions to Collingwood Legal and Acas throughout the event.
