MEDIA TALENT: EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRIAL LAW BARRISTER

Ian Neil SC < 1 mins read

Coles has become the latest corporate to mandate office returns, with a memo from the chief executive instructing all head office staff to work in the office one day per week, starting next week.

As companies increasingly require in-person attendance, questions arise: What rights do employees have in refusing a return? How far can employers push these mandates post-pandemic?
 
Leading Australian Employment and Industrial Law Barrister Ian Neil SC is available for interview to discuss:

  • The legal obligations of employers when setting in-office requirements post-pandemic.
  • Employee rights: Under what circumstances can they legally refuse to return to the office?
  • Employment law issues arising with more people working remotely, including occupational health and safety, both physical and mental.
  • The scope of reasonable and lawful directions in workplace arrangements.


For interview requests, please contact Sari-Elle Kraemer at 0407 284 457 or skraemer@alphaconsulting.global.
