Should I meet with an employee who’s coming back from sickness?
Yes. Return to work meetings are useful to find out the reason for the absence and to discuss whether you need to make any adjustments to keep the employee in work.
How much salary should I pay to my 26-year-old employee?
This employee falls into the National Living Wage band so must be paid at least £7.50 per hour.
Do I have to pay employees extra for working bank holidays?
There is no legal right to be paid more than their usual rate. However, check your contracts because they may include the right to receive extra pay.
