Event: HR Forum: Fit for Work

The new “Fit for Work” service has been introduced by the government to help employers manage sickness absences and return employees to the workplace. Fit for Work provides an occupational health service which is intended to supplement rather replace employer’s existing occupational health services and provide advice and guidance to employers dealing with issues of sickness and incapacity.

In this interactive session, Ashton KCJ’s employment team will explore the potential benefits of Fit for Work together with the range of employment law issues caused by sickness and incapacity. The session will identify the pitfalls employers should avoid and lessons to be learnt from recent cases on disability discrimination, stress at work and absence management.

Ross Strowger, Partner, Ashton KCJ Solicitors:

Ross leads the Ashton KCJ employment team in the conduct of both non-contentious and contentious employment work.

His work has included several successful enforcements and defences of post termination restrictive covenants as well as complex discrimination and whistleblowing cases in regulated professions and the education sector.

He has a particular interest in directors’ service agreements and directors’ duties more generally with the emphasis on employment issues arising from a boardroom bust up. Ross works closely with the firm’s Company Commercial team on employment issues arising from restructuring, business transfers or outsourcing (especially those involving insolvency issues). He also appears as an advocate in the Employment Tribunal and County Court.
