Providers' responsibilities for remote working

During the Covid-19 pandemic, remote working became the default model for most employers. Since then many employers’ needs have evolved with remote working forming part of a more flexible blended working model to meet the needs of the institution. However, these changes have meant that, in many cases, employers’ contracts, policies and procedures are no longer reflective of current working practices, creating risk and the potential for legal challenge.

In this session, we consider the legal implications of blended or hybrid working. We will consider the contractual issues as well as implications for equality and diversity, working time, health and safety (including mental health), and the legal risks of allowing staff to work remotely from outside the UK.
