Notes
For the latest episode of our Corporate Insights Podcast, we are joined again, by Partner from the HR Rely team, Andrew Forrest and employment Principal Associate, Ashley Powis who discuss lay-off, short time working and guaranteed pay.
Layoffs and short time working are often used as an alternative to redundancy, allowing businesses to retain their workforce while managing short-term downturns or financial difficulties.
Andrew and Ashley delve into this discussion following the ‘Trump Tariffs’, exploring how this may affect the UK's manufacturing base.
Andrew is a Fellow of the CIPD and has a masters’ degree in Human Resource Management and industrial relations. His experience covers both the public and private sectors and includes: Tribunal advocacy, consulting and negotiating with trade unions, training, mediation, seminar presentations and advising on employment law.
Ashley has been with Weightmans for over 12 years, qualifying as a solicitor in 2020. He is part of our HR Rely team, providing practical advice and support in respect of various day-to-day ER and HR issues and Employment Tribunal litigation. He also regularly carries out advocacy and has worked in-house with our clients.
