The Employment Clyde Guide to Coronavirus issues has been prepared to help employers with their key workplace issues following the changes that they have had to face during the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

We have substantially revised this Guide to take account of the latest government guidance on staying alert, the NHS test and trace scheme, employer guidance on returning to work, and changes to statutory sick pay. We have moved our commentary on the Job Retention Scheme (furloughing) into a separate guide which we will be publishing on our website on 1 June 2020.

Please ensure you are downloading the most up to date copy of the document below.
