📣 #ICYMI In the latest episode of our #KCConnect podcast, Ibec's Harry Wall and Fiona Egan reviewed the latest high profile decision in a gig economy case – McGranaghan v MEPC Music Ltd – which brings with it an unusual background, that of a musician and member of a gigging band. They look at how it draws from the standards set down in 'Karshan' case, which found a number of a Domino’s franchise’s delivery drivers were employees rather than independent contractors, and applied those to the unique circumstances at play. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/dEaU3hXt Make sure to follow our 'Ibec Podcasts' channel on podcast feeds to stay up to date with new episodes.

Tip for October 💡 🍂As we head into the final quarter of the year, it’s crucial to address any untaken annual leave. Many employees may forget or delay taking time off, which can lead to a rush in December or a significant carryover into the next year. October is therefore a great month to review annual leave balances and address any build up. 🖊️It is advisable for employers to issue a communication explaining how annual leave will be managed over the coming weeks and months. Some points to consider including: ➡ Where employees can confirm their annual leave balance. ➡ How annual leave requests will be dealt with, referring to the organisation’s annual leave policy. ➡ If the organisation envisages a peak in business, it may be useful to outline how many employees can be on leave at any one time or to state that management reserves the right to limit the numbers taking annual leave on a given week. ➡ Ensure employees are aware of what selection method will be used if multiple employees book annual leave for the same week. Any selection method should not directly or indirectly discriminate against a particular cohort as per the Employment Equality Acts. ➡ Advise employees of what the company policy is regarding the carryover of annual leave. Don’t wait until the end of the year- plan ahead!
