Course: Human Resource Management Module: HRM In A Legal Context Study Level: Master’s Degree This assignment requires you to write a critical essay. Choose 1 of the following 2 titles: ‘For individuals, not knowing your employment status means not knowing what employment rights you deserve. For businesses, this situation can lead to uncertainty about their responsibilities and what can be demanded from workers.’ (Law Society submission to The Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices 2017). Discuss this statement with reference to current case law and consider whether there is a way to simplify this area of law. OR ‘Beliefs that are offensive, shocking or even disturbing to others, and which fall into the less grave forms of hate speech would not be excluded from the protection.’ (Forstater v CGD Europe and others (2021), paragraph 79). Assess the current law relating to free speech and freedom of belief in the workplace. Address the issues in the chosen title, out of the two above. You need to discuss UK employment law and clearly express the details of the case. The level of analysis needs to be as high as possible.
