The legal duties and responsibilities of employers are enormous and there are many circumstances where managers can get things wrong. All too often this results in dealing with costly and damaging situations, such as Tribunal claims, that might otherwise have been avoided. Even in these trying times, where employers are facing extraordinary circumstances, the Government has been absolutely clear: employment law still applies and employers are responsible for complying with it.
This comprehensive course will cover, in considerable detail, the essential statutory duties with which an employer must comply. It will also ensure that you are fully up to date with the latest developments in legislation and case law.
This course is packed with facts, information and practical advice that will help you deal with many tricky workplace situations. The presenter creates an interactive learning experience that encourages discussion and enables delegates to learn from each other’s experiences in tackling employment issues. You will leave the session with a clearer understanding of the gaps in your implementation of employment law and an Action Plan for putting things right.
By the end of this course you will understand…
- How to protect your business with the right policies for the right circumstances
