Berryman which is running a free 'need to know' employment law
breakfast workshop in May
The employment team at law firm Berryman is running a free
breakfast workshop to provide regional employers with a vital and
timely update on the new employment laws for 2010.
The latest in the firm's programme of employment law training
sessions, the workshop will cover the new and imminent employment
issues that will most challenge businesses over the next 12-months,
as head of employment Ginny Hallam explains:
"With the raft of new employment legislation that is in force or
about to be introduced it's vital that employers know how to deal
with the new rules practically and to their advantage, where
possible."
The session will cover the impact of the new 'fit notes' which
replaced the 'sick note' scheme on the 6th April; the ramifications
of the Equality Bill; when employers must agree to an employee's
training request and how to go about refusing one; how and when
employees can take extended paternity leave; the new regulations
that safeguard vulnerable adults; legal representation for
employees at a disciplinary hearing; the impact on the business of
the new holiday laws; and what the new agency workers regulations
mean in practice.
The free 'Need to know' Employment Law briefing takes place at
Berryman's offices on Friar Lane, Nottingham, on Thursday 13th May
2010, from 8.15am to 10.00am, and includes breakfast. For more
