Employment Law Update

Employment breakfast briefing run in conjunction with Hays Specialist Recruitment

Employment Law Update: How to deal with recent and forthcoming changes

Marie Horner, Head of Employment Law at Harrowells Solicitors, together with her colleague Chris Riley, will present a pacy and lively summary of recent and forthcoming changes in employment legislation - very much focusing on the commercial implications for you and your organisation.

Drawing on their experience of providing practical advice to employers, Marie and Chris will detail how recent changes are actually working out in practice, including:

  • The current position on holiday pay – what should you be paying your staff following the latest decision?
  • Managing requests for Shared Parental Leave
  • The Apprenticeship Levy and funding training within your organisation for more than just school leavers
  • Removal of salary sacrifice benefits

They will also highlight which planned changes in 2017-8 are likely to have greatest potential effect, including:

  • The evolving interpretation of ‘worker’ status and the pro-active steps that organisations can take to reduce adverse findings
  • Gender Pay Gap reporting obligations
  • Increased enforcement of National Minimum Wage and how to avoid falling foul of the rules
  • Tax changes to termination payments

Marie and Chris will use case studies and interactive discussion to highlight some of the practical steps you need to take to ensure you remain compliant with these and other areas of evolving employment law.

These breakfast briefings are designed to provide practical advice for directors, senior managers and HR professionals and always prove to be very popular, so early booking is advised.
