Webinar - Long Covid and impact on employer obligations and how to manage related absences

Date: Monday 21 March 2022
This was an on-line event.
Topic: COVID

About the Event 

We will look at the question of whether long covid might be a qualifying disability under the Equality Act and how that presents challenges for employers and the obligations that arise.

We will look at how to instruct medical reporting for short term and long term absences and consider the overlap between employment and health and safety law and the duty of care owed to staff.
