Did you experience staff lateness (and perhaps even no-shows) due to blocked roads and long diversions caused by the eco-protests in recent weeks?
As an employer, you are legally within your rights to refuse to pay your employees for hours missed due to transport problems. But this is often an unpopular route to take, as your workers could argue that the situation was beyond their control.
The team here at Little Rock Employment Law can help you settle any disputes that have arisen from the recent disruption. Just as importantly, we can help you implement new lateness policies that will make everyone’s obligations and responsibilities a lot clearer moving forward.
After all, we can’t always predict what’s going to happen – but we can do our best to prepare for similar situations in the future.
