    Hi There…

    Zero hours contracts are often touted as the best way for workers to work in a flexible way, by taking work that fits their schedule. It’s also said that being able to work in this way, supports workers to have a better work life balance. So… what's wrong with them and why does the government want to ban these types of contracts. That’s the subject of this week’s podcast episode, where we also update you about a new employment right linked to Zero Hours Contracts.

    It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights in this area, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.

  • #291: Your Boss Didn't Hire You Because You Support The Wrong Football Team And An Employment Tribunal Says That's Okay. Here’s Why You Should Be Worried!
    Sep 25 2025

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com

    Hi there

    This week, we look at a really sticky case that has just come out of the employment tribunal. This case involves an employer who won an employment tribunal case after refusing to employ someone because the prospective employee was not the right ‘fit’ for the team. The tribunal saw this as a perfectly legal action to take and denied the employee’s claims of unfairness.

    We explore the case and look at how this tribunal case, could be used to cover up discrimination.

    It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights in this area, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.

  • #290: Is Your Boss’s Criticism of Your Work Just A Tough Management Style Or Is Your Boss Crossing The Line Into Something Illegal. Here’s What You Need to Know!
    Sep 18 2025

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com

    Hi there!

    We’ve all been there! But when your boss criticises your work, maybe they’re harsh and maybe that criticism feels unfair. It’s certainly frustrating and can make you feel terrible and less valued at work. But when does tough criticism cross the line into something illegal?

    This is the subject of this week’s podcast, which aims to support you to ask the right questions, to establish whether you are facing discrimination, harassment or generally – bad behaviour from your manager.

    It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights in this area, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.

  • #289: “You D***Heads”: Why Calling Your Boss This Name Can Still Lead to Unfair Dismissal And A Winning Case In Employment Tribunal!
    Sep 11 2025

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com

    Hi There and welcome to this week’s podcast.

    What if, in a heated moment, you actually called your boss a Dickhead? Surely, that would be an instant reason for your marching orders and dismissal for gross misconduct, right? Well… not necessarily!

    This week we take a look at a recent employment tribunal case which has shocked the legal and employer worlds, because it involves and employee who used this abusive term towards her employer. The employee was then sacked on the spot, took her case to an employment tribunal and was found to have been unfairly dismissed.

    It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights in this area, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.

  • #288: Your Job Security is Getting Stronger. Here’s Your Guide to Your Future Dismissal Rights!
    Sep 4 2025

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com

    Hi there

    As the new employment rights bill continues to trundle its way through parliament, we use this week’s podcast to bring you the latest updates and changes to the bill, to keep you up to date with where things are. There are some interesting changes to look at and some new clarifications have also entered the frame.

    Overall, not much has changed, but the changes that have been brought forward are important for you to know at this stage, because if we get all these changes in the final employment rights bill, your proposed new employment rights will represent the biggest shift in UK unfair dismissal rights in decades… and will definitely add to your job security in the workplace.

    It's our view, that being able to understand your employment rights, the more your rights act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.

  • #287: The Issue of Your Boss Refusing To Give You A Reference After You Have Complained About Discrimination Or Made a Whistleblowing Allegation Can Be A Minefield. Here’s Why!
    Aug 28 2025

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com

    Hi there

    In our last podcast episode about references, we look at the specific cases of reference refusal linked to discrimination and whistleblowing, and the key points you need to have in mind, when thinking about making a complaint to an employment tribunal. We look at the important role played by the ‘Continuing Act’ principle, in discrimination cases… and we also look at the role of ‘Disclosure, Detriment and Causation’ in whistleblowing cases.

    It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights in this area, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.

  • #286: Employment Tribunals and the Battle for Fair References After Dismissal From Your Job. Here Are Cases That Will Help You!
    Aug 21 2025

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com

    Hi there

    In this week’s episode, we look at the devastating impact of being denied a fair reference after dismissal, through the eyes of leading employment tribunal cases, that have made it possible for employees to seek redress for bad ‘treatment linked to the weaponisation of their reference.

    We also take you through several key cases that have laid the groundwork for employment tribunal action, and also remind you of the limitations that remain, despite the limited rights tribunal action can provide.

    It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights in this area, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.

  • #285: The Silent Sentence: How Your Ex-Employer’s Refusal to Provide a Reference Traps UK Workers After Being Dismissed From Your Job!
    Aug 14 2025

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com

    Hi there

    Having spent several weeks looking at coercive dismissals, we would be failing you if we didn’t look at one of the most complained about issues for UK workers following dismissal. That issue, is the issue of securing a reference from your last employer, when that employer has dismissed you from your job. In the episode, we look at several situations where you could find it difficult to get a reference, and the impact on you when your reference doesn’t arrive.

    It's our view, that the more you are able to acquaint yourself with your employment rights in this area, the more your rights will act as an early warning system, which you can use to spot bad treatment or illegal treatment that you may be suffering at work. If you need help to formulate your complaint you can download a copy of our ‘Complaints Checklist’ here.
