Webinar Series: Managing your Workforce during a crisis, and an Overview of Trustees’ Duties with WCVA

• The UK Government’s furlough / CJRS guidance is constantly changing and being updated. In this session we will bring you up to date with the latest changes, including dealing with holidays, pay, and implementing furlough responsibly from an employment law perspective.

HMRC Portal for furlough claims:

• The portal for registering furlough claims will be up and running from 20 April 2020 and we will provide guidance on how to use that portal effectively, and what written records you need to maintain to satisfy the requirements of the scheme.

Managing staff remotely, and managing communications and ‘banter’:

• One person’s banter is another’s harassment or bullying, and the increasing use of remote communications can easily cause disputes in this area. We will also look at ways to manage staff efficiently whilst working remotely, and how to get rules in place to manage banter and etiquette on the different media used to communicate remotely.
