Reporting Accounts news from Friday 15th January 2021

Adrian Lawrence Podcast

In todays podcast our resident financial expert Adrian Lawrence FCA, talks about an interesting news story in today's financial press. Pimlico plumbers a company floated on the London stock market are requiring all new and existing staff to agree to have a covid vaccine to be able to continue to be employed or for new employees to join them.
This raises a number of interesting legal and HR issues as in the UK you can dismiss someone with less than two years service but after that they have legal grounds to object to an unfair dismissal and could refuse a vaccine if for example the have medical grounds such as being pregnant or have religious objections.
Its an interesting policy and one that many other companies may follow and indeed we might find its only possible to travel to some countries if we can prove we have been vaccinated.
