Employment Law Update for HR Specialists

​Presented by:  Joelson Law Employment Law Team:   David Greenhalgh, Jennifer Maxwell-Harris, Reema Jethwa & Chris Warwick-Evans.

The team at Joelson Law will be looking at the past, present and future in terms of employment Law. 

They will be reflecting back on 2016, as well as looking at where we are in terms of employment law at present (review of recent topics and cases), plus future changes that you need to have on your radar and be getting prepared for!

​
The Past:
Halfway through 2016, a time for reflection....
  • Contracts of employment/handbooks – worth the paper they’re written on?
  • key points to review/amend in contracts of employment and handbooks
  • practical tips on how to avoid everyday contractual pitfalls on place/hours of work, PILON clauses, restrictive covenants, sickness absence issues (medical reports, accrual of holiday whilst off sick, calculating notice periods for employees on sick leave), the effect of TUPE, reserving the right to vary contracts and references to the handbook.
 
The Present:
Where are we now?
  • Review of recent cases and topics:
    • calculating holiday pay (commission/overtime)
    • what counts as working time?
    • grandparent leave
    • zero-hours contracts – still allowed?
 
The Future:
Prevention is better than cure…
  • Keys steps HR need to be taking for:
    • gender pay gap reporting
    • preparing a modern slavery and human trafficking statement
    • complying with new whistleblowing requirements
    • taxation of termination payments
    • Brexit: Depending on the outcome!
