April Breakfast Briefing – Lay-off and short-time working

Catch up with April’s Breakfast Briefing – Lay-off and short-time working
This Breakfast Briefing is on the topic of lay-off and short-time working. Companies that are facing a short-term financial shortfall or drop in orders may be able to reduce staffing levels on a temporary basis without the need to make anyone redundant. Kevin Duffy, from the ScotEng Legal & HR team, provided an overview of the legalities of lay-off and short-time working, including any pitfalls that member companies should be wary of.
