1. Should an employer manage an employee’s poor performance through disability or capability?
The employer will need to determine if the poor performance is down to capability or misconduct, it is often a question between can’t versus won’t
2. Since the recent Government changes can an employer implement a policy enforcing an employee to attend work if they have tested positive for Covid but are asymptomatic?
