Volcanic Ash and Employment Law
The recent ‘Volcanic Ash’ situation caused havoc for hundreds and thousands of employees and employers all across Europe and many other parts of the world. The realisation is beginning to dawn on millions of people in terms of how this situation is likely to impact on them.
Employers of course are potentially being affected two-fold in that, firstly, those within the aviation business or in some way linked to the aviation industry have a situation on their hands where they may not have any work for their employees as flights continue to remain at a standstill and secondly, some of their employees may be left stranded in another part of the world unable to report for work at least for the foreseeable future.
So where do employers stand and how do they handle these very unusual circumstances? What are employee's rights in this type of unusual situation?
The document below examines a number of different scenarios and how employers might handle them.
