Employment Law Seminars - All Events

Event Email Reminder

Full Day

How often have managers heard the phrase, “I know my rights”? Every one of us in Northern Ireland is governed by myriad employment rights and obligations. This best-selling course sets out the important ones in easy to understand sections and explains how the law of contract binds these rights and obligations together.

Description

What are the learning outcomes?
This event is an up-to-date and comprehensive overview (and comes with equally comprehensive notes) of the main employment laws that apply in Northern Ireland, such as family-friendly rights, holiday entitlement, discrimination and dismissal law and employment protection rights. Your understanding of these employment laws will be reinforced through group exercises.

What will be covered?

• Sources of Modern Employment Law (from contract law to EU Directives)
• The nature of the Contract of Employment (including employment status, agency workers and implied/expressed terms)
• Duration of employment (including flexible working and leave entitlements)
• Equality and discrimination issues (including all of the main rights plus fixed term and part-time working)
• Disciplinary and grievance issues (including statutory procedures and internal rules)
• Terminating the Employment Contract (including contractual issues, unfair dismissal rights, redundancy and other termination payments)

Who should attend?
HR professionals or other managers who want to know more about employment law, as well as solicitors relatively new to this field or those who need a refresher.

Here's what our Essentials of Employment Law 2011 delegates said:
“The notes were very comprehensive and easy to follow.”  Lisa Tolan, NICS Sport & Leisure

“Legal jargon made simple, good quality materials to take away and reference on your own time, made reference to practical applications and advice for company HR practitioners.  This was my first Legal-Island event, and would definitely recommend it for those in HR or looking to increase their knowledge of basic principles of Employment Law.””  Andrea Carson, WineFlair Ltd

“All 3 presenters were extremely clear and the notes very concise - Jenine and Lisa were able to answer my query effectively.”  Sophie Gaw, Asidua Ltd
