Want help on how to handle the impacts of coronavirus? ACAS has your back.
The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (or, thankfully, ACAS for short) have been a great source of advice and help since the start of the coronavirus break out, and are continuing this in the coming weeks.
Employees Q&A
On Friday March 20th at 10:30am there will be a live Q&A session on their Twitter account which will give you the opportunity to get answers on many issues for employees such as pay, time off and much more. Whilst this isn’t a hospitality specific session it will no doubt cover a lot of issues relevant to you.
To make it even more relevant you can send in your questions in advance to them on Twitter at @acasorguk and #AskAcas
Employers Webinar

They will include:
- Steps that can help reduce the spread of the virus
- Effective ways of communicating with employees
- Self-isolating, time off, sickness certification and sick pay
