NLJ this week: Confused by guidance?

33609
A ‘plethora of rather confusing “guidance” has emerged’ in response to COVID-19, but what is its legal status? 

Solicitor Juliet Carp, who specialises in English employment law, delves into the mix and highlights some concerns, in this week’s NLJ. For employers, ‘timing matters’ and ‘clarity makes a huge difference to practical day-to-day decisions’.

Carp offers suggestions to lawyers on what they may want to look out for during these unprecedented times, and looks ahead to post-Brexit transition employment law, before drawing an alarming conclusion.
