Do staff have to self-isolate if they’ve been pinged by the NHS Covid app?

By Timothy Adler on Small Business – Advice and Ideas for UK Small Businesses and SMEs

If you get pinged, is it a legal requirement (a) for individuals to self-isolate or (b) for employers to enforce it?

Being pinged by the NHS Covid-19 app is entirely different being asked to isolate from NHS test and trace system. If you are asked to self-isolate by NHS test and trace it is a legal requirement. If you are pinged by the NHS Covid-19 app at the moment it is just guidance. You are advised but not legally obliged to self-isolate for 10 days, which means that that if an employer cannot requiree you to necessarily self-isolate, They can ask you to come into work. But then the employer has to bear in mind their obligations and duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act.

Do people on zero-hours contracts have the legal right to go into work?

They do. The government is saying that it’s crucial that you self-isolate, but you are just advised to self-isolate. The individual should tell their employer so that the employer can make an assessment as to whether you’re creating a risk for someone else by going into the workplace.

Originally written by Alice Feilden on Small Business
Whether you’re a start-up founder or an entrepreneurial veteran, there are always new lessons to be learned. These six business books – which were all shortlisted in the prestigious 2021 Business Books of the Year – will help you stay inspired, motivated and on your toes, ready for the next challenge.
Winner –The Unfair Advantage – Ash Ali and Hassan Kubba
The co-authors of this year’s award-winning business book of the year, Ash Ali and Hasan Kubba, met years ago at a business dinner and quickly became friends. At the time, Ali, who had great success as Just Eat’s first marketing director, was concentrating on angel investing. Kubba decided to join him and watch the entrepreneurial pitches whenever he had the time.
“I used to ask these people in pitches, what’s your unfair advantage?” says Ali. “The most successful entrepreneurs are the ones that know what their unfair advantages are and how to double down on them.”
