Description

In this episode 211 of the podcast I bring you a run down from a case decided by the Employment Appeal Tribunal where the issue of making a change to employee contract terms was considered in the context of the employee’s eligibility for an enhanced redundancy payment. The case we are covering is Jackson v The University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust [2023].

In this episode of the podcast we cover:

• The options available to employees if they disagree with a change to contract terms.
• The potential risks for employers of implementing changes without agreement.
• What employers should consider when making changes to contract terms.
• How a redundancy situation can arise when making changes to employee contract terms.
• Why redundancy applied in this case.
• The issue that often arises in NHS Trusts with enforced changes to roles and changes to Band ratings.
• Why employers need to consult with employees on changes to terms.
• The leading case of Hogg v Dover College
