Anonymous whistleblowing reports can be challenging for employers to manage, particularly when you do not know who raised the concern or have limited information to investigate.

What should you do when an employee refuses a reasonable instruction? 🤔

A refusal can disrupt work, but it does not automatically amount to misconduct. As the employer, it’s important to understand their concerns and check whether the instruction was reasonable in the first place.

This week’s Wednesday Wonder explains how best to handle an employee who refuses a reasonable instruction.

A well-deserved shoutout for Angelika! 👏

From staff handbook updates to tricky employment questions, Angelika provides our Peace of Mind members with practical support that goes far beyond simply giving employment law advice.

Here’s what one of our members recently said:

──────────────

💬 “Angelika provided invaluable support with the significant updates to our staff handbook, as well as the various contract related questions I had along the way.

“Her responses are always professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. She takes ownership of tasks and supports their completion, rather than simply advising on what needs to be done.

“Having this level of support and expertise available has been hugely reassuring.”

──────────────

A brilliant reflection of the practical, hands-on support Angelika provides. 🤝

⚖️ If at first you don’t succeed… whistleblow another 36 times? – Unfortunately, whistleblowing protection doesn’t quite work like that. Simpson v Cantor Fitzgerald Europe shows why 37 alleged disclosures can still add up to a rather unfortunate zero.
