Employment law update

As indicated previously the forthcoming Employment Rights Bill will have an impact on the current Industrial Relations landscape, within the U.K. and this event will aim to inform our membership of those implications.

Also through consideration of recent case studies we can consider how the current Employment Law is being interpreted.

Lee and Nicola will explore the following areas:

• An update on the progress of the Employment Rights Bill

• Other new/forthcoming legislation

• A round up of recent case law of interest to HR professionals and business owners.
