Would you like to gain an understanding of your legal obligations towards your employees?

Whether you employ one person or several hundred people your obligations towards your employees and their employment rights remain the same.

Employment litigation can be very costly to a business with an average unfair dismissal claim costing employers £8,000 in award payments in 2008/9. This figure does not include the hidden costs associated with defending the claim such as the management time lost in preparing a response to a claim along with any legal advice and representation at Tribunal. Claims for discrimination awards have no ceiling and can cost businesses tens of thousands of pounds if successful at Tribunal.

Managers who have people management responsibilities need to ensure they have a practical understanding of the key areas of employment law to ensure they are compliant within the workplace.

hjspeople will be running their Basic Employment Law workshop which provides an introduction into how the law is made along with the contractual relationship between employers and employees and also considers employee rights and the law against discrimination. Finally, we will cover your obligations under Health and Safety law and how to resolve employment disputes.

Our workshops are run from a practical and commercial perspective and our aim is to support managers and business owners in the efficient and profitable running of their businesses.

Our next Basic Employment Law workshop will be held on Wednesday 17 November 2010 at a local venue in Southampton and will cost £350.00 per person including all course materials, refreshments and lunch.
