Employment law update for SME’s

Where: Online webinar
What will we cover?
- Day one rights: The right to bring a claim for unfair dismissal from day one of employment, along with other rights mean that employers now need to review and look at their structure and consider process changes in preparation.
- Sexual harassment changes: Companies must take preventative measures, and this extends also to Third Parties and individuals who are accountable.
- Zero hours: The right to guaranteed hours, calculated over a 12 week period, which extends to agency workers and all zero hour employees.
- Protecting your business: How to prepare for these developments and other changes, with training, policies and processes.
- Q&A: Where you can put your questions to our speaker.
Who is it for?
This webinar is specifically designed for company directors and those involved in HR activities within SMEs, providing essential guidance on managing new employment law requirements.
The changes will have a significant impact all employers, but the day one rights and zero hours changes are particularly pertinent for those in industries with high employee turnover, agency and casual workers, such as construction, hospitality and retail.
