Hi,
In this bulletin we look at one of the provisions in the new Equality Act that comes into force in October relating to pre-employment medical questionnaires, the importance of measuring employee absence, what adjustments need to be considered if an employee is dyslexic, employing students and a caution about TV licenses if allowing employees to watch the World Cup.
There’s also an invitation to all our readers to join us in cheering on the Crispin Rhodes Crusaders at the Olney 7’s rugby tournament at Olney Rugby Club, Buckinghamshire on Saturday, 3rd July.
As ever, your feedback is always appreciated so please do let us know if there’s anything else you would like to see in our e-Bulletin.
Kind regards,
Angela
