Webinar: Mencap case and sleep-in shift time – what are the ramifications for the health and social care sector and beyond?

29 March 2021

The Supreme Court’s decision in Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake means sleep-in care support workers can only be paid for when they are 'awake for the purpose of working'. What does this mean for social care providers and for employment lawyers advising workers in the sector?

In this webinar, Nikolas Clarke, Max Lansman and Ryan Anderson of the Field Court Chambers Employment law Team consider:

  • practical and legal issues concerning pay structures and contractual arrangements
  • what employers now need to do to ensure compliance with national minimum wage legislation
  • changes social care providers and local authorities might need to think about
  • ongoing areas of uncertainty.
