Great learning content! A huge favour please…

Thank you for the amazing content!

Could you please have a dedicated episode on the risks of automatic unfair dismissals (less than 2 years service) where claims are then brought in SPECIFIC for alleged RACE Discrimination that end up in an ET (Direct/Indirect).

Other than general information, there doesn’t seem to be much detailed information out there on “comparators” who are in different roles/level to the dismissed employee and if there is still a chance that the dismissed employee could still win or lose an ET if they could prove that another employee who didn’t share the same PC as them but was in a completely different role/level & never got dismissed for general poor performance like they did…

Could you also explain what’s meant by “material differences” and how this applies to comparators ex employees may rely upon?

I think this will be a really exciting and interesting episode to have and listen into for the majority of your audience as there isn’t much content out there on this topic! : )

Excellent podcasts on all employment law matters

I have listened to all of the employment law matters podcast and have found them to be invaluable in my studies. I have recently enrolled onto the Virtual Employment Law Academy course that Daniel runs, it is excellent for HR Professionals. He breaks everything down to a level that all can understand, gaining the required knowledge to improve and enhance the subject material, into an every day working environment.
