Employment Law and Practice – 2018 and Beyond

Employment Law and Practice – 2018 and Beyond

Join us as we explore the key developments in UK employment law. We will look at how they will impact your business and set out the practical steps that you can take to remain ahead of the curve.

On the day we will cover:

• Managing employee mental health and wellbeing – the new ACAS guidance has placed a raft of new training, awareness and documentation obligations on employers.  We will examine these and discuss how businesses can identify and support those affected individuals and what practical steps can be taken to limit potential legal exposure and lost productivity.
• Employment status – with the rise of the gig economy, the label applied to an individual has become a key battleground in UK employment law. We will explain the options available to you which will allow you to shape the composition of your workforce to match the needs of your business in the light of ever changing case law, including contractors, agency workers, and zero hours workers/casuals.
• Brexit – where does the Great Repeal Act leave the law? – with the UK scheduled to leave the EU in March 2019, this session will help you understand how the law will evolve through the process, focusing in particular on employment law and international rights.
• Employment round-up – key cases and upcoming legal changes in 2018.
