Employment Law
The Employment Law column is published in two formats: a single page Casebook and a two-page Verdict.
Both are based around a single case - chosen for its relevance to a readership in manufacturing. More often than not, it will feature a manufacturing company, but this isn’t always necessary as long as the message is a pertinent one.
As well as a recap of the basics of the law in the relevant area, Casebook deals with the employer’s actions in dealing with the matter right through to the Employment Tribunal’s findings, and even the Employment Appeal Tribunal’s findings
In a Verdict piece, questions are asked of the reader, based on what they have read on the first page, and these are answered on the second. These include whether the company have acted better in some way in its handling of the case, was one particular point in the proceedings crucial to the outcome?
