Summer employment law review

Please join us for a complimentary virtual employment law seminar at 10:00 on Wednesday 05 June 2024.

Caroline Prosser (Partner) and Roisin Reidy (Associate) will give you a clear and concise update of employment law developments, and provide you with practical guidance and advice on what these developments mean for your business and what you need to do to stay compliant.

The summer employment law review will include:

  • An employment law update (Roisin Reidy): Covering the most important employment law cases from the last few months, forthcoming legislation and what’s on the horizon for employers. Roisin will explain the practical implications of these cases and legal changes for you in the workplace.
     
  • Preventing sexual harassment – reasonable steps in practice (Caroline Prosser): From 26 October 2024, employers will have a positive duty to take ‘reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment of their workers, and the worker’s compensation can be uplifted by up to 25% if the employer has failed to do so. Caroline’s session will consider the practical steps you can take to prevent harassment, and the importance of a business’s reaction to harassment complaints.

Who should attend?
This session is aimed at HR professionals, in-house lawyers and those with responsibility for people management within their organisation.

Expert knowledge of employment law is not required.

Hope you can join us.
