Varying Contractual Terms and Policies in the Time of Covid-19 and a Post-Covid-19 World:

Weeks of lockdown and an uncertain future are transforming businesses and requiring employers and employees to confront the reality of multiple and wide-ranging changes to the workplace and to employees’ contracts of employment.
In this webinar Carol Davis and Joseph Bryan explore the challenges in varying contractual terms and policies as a result of Covid-19. In particular, Carol and Joseph will focus on the following:

What might need to be varied?

  •       Pay and remuneration: the effect of furlough and ‘voluntary’ reductions
  •        Changes to contractual and non-contractual policies: absence/sickness/home-working/conduct
  •        The extent to which variations change/develop depending on changes in social distancing

How to vary terms?

  •       Consultation/collective consultation
  •       Unilateral changes
  •       The impact of and on trust and confidence

What are the legal and business consequences?
