EMPLOYMENT LAW IN PRACTICE
What are the pitfalls of not having contractual documentation?
Do employees seem to know more about their rights than you do?
Do you know what are the most important employment procedures are and why?
BackupHR recognises that many organisations employ people on the hoof and only issue them with a brief offer letter, having got all good intentions of following up at a later stage but never do. Despite Claimants now having to pay to bring a claim against their employer, Tribunals are swamped – to the point that some cases are taking years to resolve rather than months! For an organisation this could potentially mean having to put your business on hold, not only in terms of finances but also management focus. This course will provide you with the legal basics about employment contracts, their purpose and content. It will also identify the key employment policies and procedures that should not only be clearly written and communicated out, but Managers need to follow in practice. By attending this half day course, you will be given practical tips on what needs to be in place and why. We will explain why handbooks are a necessary evil and why they need to get reviewed and updated each year.
This lively, practical and participative half day training event will bring you up to speed on everything you need to know about employment policies, procedures and contracts, as well as understanding the importance of having detailed records.
Many of our clients wonder why we review their Handbooks every year and that re-issuing it regularly is regarded as an unnecessary administrative chore. This course will enlighten Managers on why the Handbook is such an important document, and why it can be a Managers bible on employment issues and how to properly manage their team.
