"Previously you could theoretically be terminated for not reading or replying to messages from your employer outside hours. Now there are restrictions on that. "
Now you will be terminated for "some other" reason.
- tialaramex 2y agoPreviously, when you show to a tribunal or whatever institution that they fired you for not working out of hours despite insisting it was some vague "job performance" reason, the tribunal says well, that's technically legal anyway, it's just rude, so too bad. Now, it's illegal. So "some other reason" has to be watertight. If in the process of concocting a "some other reason" you trip another law, you don't get a Do Over because you were trying to break a different law, instead you have more trouble.
