Episode notes

🚨 A welfare case turned operational crisis.

An employee's flexible working request was approved to support caring responsibilities. A welfare meeting followed.

The employee was signed off with mental health concerns. Now the business wants to introduce even later shifts, making the agreed arrangement unworkable.

In this episode, we explore the legal, practical, and people implications of changing working hours, managing welfare concerns, and balancing business needs with employee rights.

With our unified offering, conduct the right checks, resolve issues efficiently, and reduce risk with our lawyer-led employment software, consultancy, and CPD-accredited e-learning.
