It's All Academic Now

A golfing heckler's employer was alert about out-of-hours Twitter conduct, that contained disparaging remarks about Ian Poulter's form. The hecklers consequently lost their university jobs.

Providing the conduct outside of work has a bearing on the employment relationship, case law suggests that in certain circumstances an employee’s employment may be validly terminated because of out-of-hours conduct.

But such circumstances are limited. Employment contracts and policies need to consider and provide examples of what these circumstances could be for your organisation.

If you are in the throws of writing a policy or need advice on this matter, please call us for a confidential 30 minute consultation.
