Peter Maguire from Ridgeline HR joined us to cover various situations that businesses may be facing during the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Stand down vs Redundancy – What’s the difference?
• A business has been shut down due to government restrictions.
• A business remains open, however experiences a severe drop in revenue.
• A staff member has been in contact with a potential COVID-19 case or is experiencing cold/flu like symptoms, but still wants to work.
• We can continue to operate but we will need to implement reductions in hours or wages.
• We have to have redundancies.

Employment Hero have put together the below PDF which summarises some of the key takeaways from the Peter’s presentation.
