ESSENTIAL EMPLOYMENT LAW FOR LINE MANAGERS
Few people can honestly say they feel fully confident on employment law issues, and yet ignorance can leave companies at grave risk from the threat of employment tribunals. Over 218,000 claims were received by Employment Tribunals in 2010-11, focusing on issues such as Unfair Dismissal, Breach of Contract, Equal Pay and Discrimination.
Employment law is a complex, thorny and ever- shifting issue. Major changes have occurred in 2010-11, such as the abolition of the default retirement age, and more legislative changes are being discussed by the government for 2012.
Assimilate's 'Essential Employment Law for Line Managers' training course presents the latest legislation in an easily digestible 1-day seminar format, specifically removing confusing legalese. This ensures that the Managers attain a clear understanding of the law and how it affects their company, their role as leader and the staff they manage.
The course covers:
- Recruitment
- Pay, tax and pensions
- Working hours and time off
- Maternity, paternity and adoption rights
- Contractual changes
- Equality
- Grievances, discipline and dismissal
- Health safety and the working environment
- Occupational health
Attempting to keep abreast of these changes yourself via the media, can be a daunting task, but any uncertainty can be minimised by receiving employment law training. Knowledge is power and by providing managers with the necessary training, companies can rest assured that the best steps have been taken to ensure the business is fully compliant and the staff are fully supported.
