Podcast: Overtime pay; and religious discrimination and unfair dismissal

On this week's XpertHR Weekly, we discuss the latest XpertHR survey of overtime arrangements, which reveals that 93% of those surveyed have employees who are eligible for overtime payments, although only around one-fifth of employees regularly work additional paid hours. We also discuss the employment tribunal decision in Farrah v Global Luggage Co Ltd ET/2200147/2012, in which the tribunal considered a claim of direct religion and belief discrimination and unfair dismissal. The tribunal found that the employer forced a Muslim employee who came to work wearing a headscarf to resign because this was in contravention of the image that it was trying to maintain. 

Presenter Clio Springer is joined by Sheila Attwood and Stephen Simpson. Edited and produced by Luke Smith.
