Quick daily tip #4 for avoiding future disputes relates to the people who are still working. I'm picking up vibes of disputes bubbling about them also picking up extra work that other employees who are furloughed would normally have done so they're over capacity. Really worth looking at now if you have this situation as it's unfair and whilst employees may be reluctant to raise the issues now it's very likely to come out over the coming months or even years.

Avoiding disputes quick tip #3 is about using technology. Letting people issues go on too long could cause further issues and criticism down the line - with technology there's no reason why most things can't be progressed. The other tip is to ensure you know how to use the technology and test it out first!

Avoiding disputes tip #2 - unfortunately we have to mention the "f" word. There are a few issues bubbling around what employers are asking employees to do - things that could turn into disputes over the coming months.

Over the next couple of weeks we'll be posting a very short daily video tip on avoiding disputes (as we can see many starting to bubble to the surface). Tip #1 - always ensure your guidance is coming via an employment lawyer. We've posted about this previously, but it's so important - taking advice from the wrong people won't be a very good defence in any kind of dispute!
