Issue 767

Race and flexibility

Workers who are not offered different hours by their employer are much more likely, as a result, to consider leaving their job than those who are offered them.

Agreeing terms

Workers who sign away their rights as part of an agreement with their employer should be careful that the wording does not disadvantage them at a later stage.

Covenant by design

Although employers can safeguard lawful business interests through contractual promises with their employees, they can only enforce them if they are reasonable.
