The Employment Relations Unit (ERU) provides comprehensive advice on all aspects of employment relations and practices. Our employment law and policy advisers keep authorities up-to-date on the human resources implications of new legislation and case law developments.
Latest advisory bulletin
Advisory Bulletin 746 contains two case reports: Tarbuc v Martello Piling, which concerns when a ‘protected conversation’ can be considered by an employment tribunal, and Tesco Stores Limited v Element and ors, in which the Court of Appeal provided further guidance on the information that can be taken into account when determining the ‘work’ an individual does for the purpose of an equal value claim.
