As more employees return to the workplace, employers may want to know what proportion of their workforce has had their Covid-19 vaccinations.

Questions about the role of vaccinations in employers’ coronavirus health and safety measures continue to be popular. The top question this month looks at the data protection issues around asking about vaccination status.

A number of questions about resignations also feature in the top 10, including on resignation during disciplinary proceedings and whether employees can withdraw their resignation if they change their mind.

The top 10 HR questions in September 2021:

1. Can employers ask employees if they have had a coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccination?

2. Can an employer require employees to have a coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccination?

3. Can employers use the NHS Covid Pass to check employees’ coronavirus status?

4. What should an employer do if it becomes aware that an EEA national employee does not have settled or pre-settled status?

5. If an employee resigns after disciplinary proceedings have been commenced should the employer continue the disciplinary procedure?

6. What types of break between contracts would not constitute a break in continuous employment?

7. Can an employee retract their resignation?

8. Must an employer disclose notes and witness statements produced during a grievance or disciplinary procedure if an employee requests them?

9. When can an employer demote an employee lawfully?

10. Where an employee resigns but does not work the required notice period, is the employer under any obligation to pay them for this period?
