Sexual Harassment

 

Citation of Driskel v Peninsula Business Services

 

Until 1st October 2005 sexual harassment at work was not specifically dealt with as such by legislation. However this changed on 1st October 2005.


ACAS predict the new rules will make little difference. The Courts and tribunals have long since established that harassment is unlawful "discrimination" for the purposes of the Sex Discrimination Act if it results in an employee being treated less favourably than others on the grounds of sex.

 

Useful guidance can be seen by the citation of Driskel v Peninsula Business Services IRLR 2000 151. 


Ms Driskel was employed by employment law consultants Peninsula Business Services, as an advice line consultant. In 1996, she was interviewed by Her department head for a promotion

Employment Law Advice - Long Term Sickness

Workers who have been on sick leave for more than a year are now entitled to holiday allowance in the following year. This entitlement is regardless of whether they have formally requested it a court has ruled.

This is bad news for employers because businesses face workers returning from long-term sick leave only to go straight on paid holiday which could be up to four weeks.

A string of recent employment cases had suggested that only if an employee who has been on long-term sick leave specifically requests to carry over the entitlement would businesses owe the employee.

Many businesses already operate a 'use it or lose it' policy with regards to paid holiday.

The ruling in the NHS v Larner case handed down in the Court of Appeal yesterday ruled that workers who cannot take holiday due to illness are entitled to reclaim it the following year. The judgment said that the fact that they have been ill means they would not have been able to claim it.

Employees who have left the company following long-term illness could also get paid for holiday time they hadn't taken.

It is still unclear if there is a time limit on the right to carry forward holidays.

This decision follows recent rulings in Europe that workers who become ill during their holidays have the right to take additional paid time off later. Since the Pereda vs Madrid Movilidad case, many employers have been relying on case law to prevent sick workers from carrying over statuatary holiday.
