Following the Equality Act 2010 in October this year there is not a more crucial year to get your Christmas employment practices right to avoid the Tribunal in the New Year.

There are a number of areas where you might wish an employee to either live in your house or in a property owned by you as part of their employment. The obvious examples being a butler or housekeeper, a nanny, a property manager, a caretaker, a cleaner, a pub manager, a carer or an agricultural farm worker.
