The workplace can be a complex environment. You may have been unfairly dismissed. You may have been made redundant. You may be faced with the prospect of dismissal or have been offered a settlement agreement. Our team of Employment Law specialists is one of the leading teams in Scotland with the knowledge and capacity to cover all work-related issues.
In Dobson v Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust [2023] the employment tribunal held that the requirement by an NHS employer for community nurses to work flexibly, including working at weekends (the “PCP”), was a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim and the dismissal of the Claimant for failure to agree to this was fair on the grounds of SOSR (some other substantial reason). We discuss the decision below.
