Like many employers, you’ve hired in staff on a self-employed basis to plug gaps during the economic crisis. It’s a cheaper option than recruiting permanent employees. But how can you stop them
exploiting your business information?
In a recent case, an employee selected for redundancy sent vast amounts of confidential information to her private e-mail address. She said it was “self-preservation”, the employer argued it was
gross misconduct. Who won?
Until recently, it was believed that an employee could only be put on garden leave if there was a clause in their contract allowing it. But a High Court case has altered this position. What did it
say?
MPs recently criticised the use of confidentiality clauses in certain settlement agreements, stating that the employers’ requirements were outrageous. Does this mean you shouldn’t subject an employee
to such a clause?
When an employer grew concerned that two of its employees had stolen confidential data, it applied to the High Court for permission to inspect their own PCs. As this was granted, do you now have a
new legal right?
It’s been suggested that you could protect yourself by having a clause in your employment contracts which caps the amount of compensation that the tribunal can award to an employee. This sounds like
a good idea, but what’s the reality?
When Marathon Asset Management discovered that two former employees had taken confidential business information, it sued them for damages totalling £15 million. However, the High Court only
awarded it a mere £2. Why?
In a 2017 case the employee saved a document on their employer’s server which contained his personal financial information. Bearing in mind its content, was it automatically private?
One of your key employees has resigned and is going to work for a competitor. Trouble is, their other half also works for you and you’re worried they may pass over confidential information. What can
you do about it?
Dismiss an employee without giving them the correct notice period and you might face a breach of contract claim. Depending on their salary and any benefits, this could be substantial. How can a PILON
clause help prevent this risk?
