Affected by the Riots?

Matched with the current economical climate, the riots across the current are the newest area of concern for businesses, employers and employees. With damages to buildings; both home and business and destroyed travel links advice on what to do next is much needed. 
Between employer and employee ACAS has made three main recommendations; be flexible, be fair and maintain communication. With the aim that this will ensure a stable relationship between the two parties for a hoped peaceful solution as an outcome. 
Nevertheless employers do still have a business to maintain. Travel disruptions do not automatically entitle the employee to receive pay it is dependent on the businesses contractual obligations. Likewise if unpaid leave is contained within the contract the employer may request this is taken. Finally, workplace closure does not give the employer a right not to pay the employee if they are still available for work.
