Reasonable adjustments at disciplinary and grievance meetings
Max Winthrop, partner and head of the employment law team at Short, Richardson and Forth LLP, discusses the law and best practice around disability-related reasonable adjustments at disciplinary and grievance meetings including: the circumstances in which the duty arises; considerations relating to face-to-face and remote meetings; a worker's choice of companion; and the timing and rescheduling of meetings. Max also looks at two recent employment tribunal decisions, and reflects on how disability-related adjustments may become relevant in other contexts.
