The forthcoming changes to laws governing the Equal Treatment
for Agency Workers and the recent introduction of the Bribery Act
for businesses are two legal topics to be covered in a key
employment law seminar for HR professionals this September.
The half-day training workshop is the first in a series of
in-depth seminars to be held across the East Midlands in the next
12 months. The training is being delivered by employment relations
experts Acas and Nottingham law firm, Gateley to bring
organisations up-to-date with the latest regulation changes in a
fast-paced and ever changing employment law arena.
The first seminar provides an overview on the introduction this
October of the 'Equal Treatment for Agency Workers' regulations.
The workshop will look behind the latest headline cases in
employment law to bring the training to life.
Following the introduction in July of the Bribery Act for
businesses, delegates will also learn everything they need to know
about this new law. Gateley's expert employment lawyers will advise
on how to adhere to the regulations, which were brought in by the
Coalition Government in an attempt to clamp down on business
corruption.
Commenting on the forthcoming employment law seminars, Kate
Nowicki acting area director of Acas in the East Midlands said: "We
offer training in all aspects of employment relations for all types
of businesses. With over 30 years experience of working with
employers we have developed high quality, in-depth events that
provide insight and expertise in key areas of employment law.
"Employment law is constantly changing and it's important for
businesses to be well informed so they can ensure they are taking
the right steps to protect themselves and their employees. Gateley
are experts in the field of employment law and offer a practical
approach that takes into account the employer and their staff.
We value the experience that they will bring to these
in-depth and hugely beneficial sessions for HR professionals."
Andrew Macmillan, partner and head of employment in Gateley's
Nottingham office will be leading the workshops across the region,
he added: "We appreciate there is a minefield of information out
there for businesses looking to keep abreast of the latest
employment law issues. Our aim is to make the workshops as
straightforward and relevant as possible. By using real life case
history, we will provide delegates with all the tools they need to
ensure compliance with important legislation.
"We are looking forward to working with the Acas team and bring
a wealth of experience in offering bespoke employment law training
that really delivers results."
