Employment Status is an interesting topic and one which organisations often ignore until it is too late. Individuals are becoming more aware of their rights and it is important that employers have carried out the necessary checks to avoid the significant tax implications and employment law risks in mistaking someone’s employment status. A current theme which several clubs have had to explore is whether an individual can be considered as truly self-employed. If you would like to learn more about this matter then a helpful guidance document can be accessed through the link below and you can contact our HR Consultant to discuss your specific club’s circumstances in more detail.
With clubs looking towards the future, it is necessary to ensure that the strategic plan for meeting the needs of each sport can be achieved and therefore, it is likely that there may need to be changes in how organisations operate. Restructuring projects resulting in potential redundancies are something that we anticipate being a challenge that many organisation will unfortunately need to be prepared for. Please see appropriate guidance notes below for your information and get in touch to discuss the individual needs of your organisation and how AAB People HR Services can support you moving forwards.
Homeworking can be a modern and flexible approach for organisations to function, but it is also something that may be unfamiliar to many organisations and their employees and this can cause some operational challenges. It is important to remember that even whilst working at home, employers have a duty of care towards their employees.
In these challenging times, it is even more important that organisations ensure they are supporting their people. Encouraging positive mental health and positive attitudes towards work means that an organisation is more likely to have a workforce which are productive and adapt well to change. This is especially important during a challenging global climate where organisations are likely to be uncertain about their future and individuals may have been out of work for a significant period of time.
