Update on workplace laws shake-up
Comments |
The government has announced plans for sweeping changes to
employment law in a bid to reduce regulation and stimulate
growth.
But what do the changes mean in practice?
The proposals and their implications will be explored in a
series of three employment law workshops presented by South East
law firm Furley Page.
The workshops, run in partnership with Kent Invicta Chamber of
Commerce, will be held in February and March and are open to
Chamber members and non-members, whatever the size of their
workforce.
Leading the interactive workshops will be Andrew Masters,
partner and head of employment at Furley Page.
"These workshops are essential to help employers and HR
professionals keep up to date with the ever-changing complexities
of employment law," he said.
"As well as practical guidance, there will be question and
answer sessions so there's plenty of opportunity for delegates to
raise issues of concern."
Mr Masters will be joined by Amanda Okill, a senior solicitor
who specialises in employment law, and financial planning manager
Simon Ludden, a specialist in pensions and independent financial
advice. He will advise on pensions auto-enrolment.
The workshops are to be held at a new
venue for 2012, the Mercure Hotel, Hollingbourne, Maidstone
(previously the Ramada/Great Danes), from 8am to noon. They
are:
�� Employment Law Update – Thursday,
February 23. It will include proposed and recent changes to
employment law, latest reforms and implementation of European
Directives as well as updates to pension auto-enrolment plans.
�� Investigating Discipline and
Grievances in the Workplace – Thursday, March 8. It will provide
everything from practical guidance on how to prevent costly
disputes to latest changes in unfair dismissal law.
�� Managing Sickness Absence –
Thursday, March 22. It will highlight the increasing importance of
disability discrimination law and how best to avoid potential
claims.
�� Workshops cost £35 to Kent Invicta
Chamber members and £45 to nonmembers.
