Oh wow, this is like my two favourite rock stars doing a duet! Sher
great advice!
I've just listened to all 5 straight off I've been away they were great and reinforced what I thought I knew
A great use of your time. As ever Daniel Barnett covers all the pertinent points on difficult employment law issues in a clear concise manner, giving you the confidence to deal with the matter in hand. http://employmentlawmatters.buzzspout.com
Very easy to understand and great to reinforce/recap on existing learning. It was useful to hear what an employment tribunal would consider when assessing fairness in different SOSR circumstances also. The podcast was detailed enough but also short enough to listen to without getting distracted and having to replay. Great to listen to if you have a spare 10 minutes. http://employmentlawmatters.buzzsprout.com
