Description

One phone call. One moment of distraction. One life almost lost.

That's what our HR consultancy had to deal with when a delivery driver, carelessly using his phone, hit a pedestrian — and claimed, 'It wasn’t that bad.'

📲 Is using a phone while driving gross misconduct?

⚖️ Can employers be held legally responsible if a pedestrian is killed/injured?

⛔ Should you suspend staff immediately after a road incident?

Dealing with gross misconduct? Our HR software features a disciplinary decider to help you manage conduct lawfully — from just £1PP. Plus, our award-winning lawyers are here to provide specialist guidance for only £6PP.
