Millions of public sector employees will participate in a mass strike on Wednesday 30th November 2011. The public sector workers are striking over changes to public sector pensions. Earlier this year we saw the National Union of Teachers and the Association of Teachers and Lecturers striking in June, but Wednesdays planned mass public sector strike will cause disruption across multiple public sector services including hospitals, transport and education. Should schools close, employers could be faced with staffing issues when employees are unable to work due to a lack of childcare. A reduction in staff can considerably impact the SME businesses productivity and add additional pressure to the whole team. Lindsay Hill, Chief Executive at Employment Law specialists Citation plc said “Employers should encourage employees to think ahead and to be proactive about looking at alternative childcare arrangements including asking relatives, friends or nurseries to care for children if schools close.” “Employers could also consider allowing employees to take their holiday entitlement, look at the possibility of the employee working from home or agreeing time off that can be worked back at a later date”. Ultimately, if none of the above applies, then employees have a legal right to take a reasonable amount of unpaid time off to cope with an emergency involving a dependant.
