 Hi Phillip, 

What if something as small as leaving someone out of the tea round could cost your business £41,000?

It might sound far-fetched, but that’s what happened in a recent case. Not because of one isolated incident – but because repeated, seemingly minor acts of exclusion built up over time.

From being left out of informal chats to missing team activities, it’s a stark reminder that everyday exclusions can carry real legal risks.

Our Excluding Employees Factsheet: ( https://wn.worknest.com/e/398692/loyeesguide-prospect-sme-apr26/dl1lfn/2134988872/h/kA6bdzOh4CuZraac0UTmV8yWV7QvAN1Q8RsZxoQV-30 ), breaks down: 

- How Tribunals approach workplace exclusion 
- What happened in this case, and why the employer was liable
- Other examples that have led to Tribunal claims
- The types of claims employees could bring
- Six ways to avoid similar scenarios in your workplace

Don't trip up on the small things – download the short guide below.

In the meantime, make sure you are ready for April with our 'Employment Law Facts & Figures Reference Guide: ( https://wn.worknest.com/e/398692/loyeesguide-prospect-sme-apr26/dl1lfr/2134988872/h/kA6bdzOh4CuZraac0UTmV8yWV7QvAN1Q8RsZxoQV-30 ), which covers the rates that will apply from next month, including National Minimum Wage, statutory sick pay, maternity pay and more.
