Can an employee’s disability impact a heat of the moment resignation? Yes it can! | Kuits Solicitors
Heat of the moment resignations are often a tricky area for employers to navigate. Previous employment tribunal decisions have suggested that giving an employee a few days to cool off before accepting a resignation is a reasonable step for an employer to take.?
However, in the recent case of Bradley v The Royal Mint Ltd the tribunal found that The Royal Mint had discriminated against Mrs Bradley by refusing to allow her to rescind her resignation after 10 days, without first considering the impact her disability had on her decision to resign.
A worker’s right to ‘switch off’ outside their normal working hours could soon be introduced in the UK.?This is part of the government’s Plan to Make Work Pay.?
The plan provides workers with a right to disconnect from work outside of working hours and not to be contacted by their employer. There would be no expectation on workers to answer calls or emails outside working hours or work extra hours at weekends.
