The Lawdown: Employment Law Podcast Series from CM Murray LLP

Episode 42: Unemployed may get weight-loss jabs; BBC workplace culture review; Benjamin Mendy's claim for £11.5M in unpaid wages

Listen Later

In our latest episode of The Lawdown, Partners Beth Hale and Emma Bartlett and Associate Kia Aoki discuss the following:

  1. The suggestion by the Government to give overweight people weight-loss jabs to help them get back to work and the potential disability discrimination issues that may arise.
  2. The BBC’s commencement of an independent workplace culture review, with particular focus on the stated aims of the review and the effectiveness of such reviews.
  3. Benjamin Mendy’s claim against his former club, Manchester City, for £11.5 million in unpaid wages, the majority of which was upheld by the Tribunal. We discuss the reason the claim was upheld, comparison with the continued payment of Huw Edwards’ salary after his arrest, and how employers should manage a situation where an employee has been charged with a criminal offence.


    4. We have also included an “addendum” at the end of this episode, in the wake of the allegations against Gregg Wallace which broke just after we recorded this episode. We felt it would be remiss not to mention these, but stay tuned as we will discuss this story in further depth in our next episode.

    We hope you enjoy our latest episode! Please get in touch by emailing us at [email protected] if you would like any information on the topics discussed or if you would like to suggest a story for us to cover in a future episode.
