Shan Jaerig and Richard Mawer were invited to appear on the "Minding Your Business" Show hosted by Andy Deighton. The show was broadcast live
from the Siren FM studio on the Lincoln University Campus.
Minding Your Business is aimed at small to medium sized business in the Lincoln area and the show on the 16th June 2011 was focused on Employment Law and particularly the recent changes and reforms which were impacting small business. Shan discussed the new proposals from government regarding tribunal proceedings and the involvement of ACAS in any proceedings.
The discussions then moved on to Social Media and the impact this is having on the workplace and recent cases involving the misuse of Social Media,such as Facebook, by employees in the workplace. Shan covered some of the case law and explained how this ever-changing area of the law is a minefield for employers who are having to employ more and more detailed Social Media Policies into their employment contracts.
Finally there was a question and answer session where Shan answered listeners questions. During this session she covered a variety of topics including maternity / paternity rights, working time regulations including minimum break times and minimum holiday periods and ownership of data issues relating to Outlook and Linkedin profiles for employees.
