Furlough: Updates and Contractual Implications – The fourth webinar from Nine St John Street

This week, James Hurd and Tom Gilbart provide you with furlough updates and consider the contractual implications of furlough:

• Update following the Government announcements of 15th April 2020 – further clarification, new dates etc. (01:13);
• Notice periods and furlough (04:38);
• Can you re-employ an ex-employee to furlough them? What are the issues that could arise? (06:38)
• Can your furlough agreement contain a clause which permits the employer to lay off the employee after the furlough period? (21:30)
• Will the doctrine of frustration be relevant to employment contracts given the current situation?

You can submit your question for Nine St John Street’s barristers to discuss by email to [email protected].
