Description

Are you ready for the Employment Law changes affecting your business?

Join us for a FREE practical Masterclass in HR Compliance & Tribunal Prevention.

Employment law is changing, and for business owners, keeping up with your legal obligations can feel overwhelming. Failing to follow the correct procedures can be a costly mistake.

Join us for a free 3-hour employer seminar designed to cut through the jargon, break down statutory requirements, and give you practical guidance on the issues that matter to your business.

What will we cover?

You’ll get clear, practical advice on:

  • What the new "day-one" rules for sick pay and holiday entitlement mean for your business.

  • Clear guidance on how this new Fair Work Agency affects your day-to-day operations.

  • Easy steps to protect your finances and reputation from expensive employment tribunals.

  • How to follow ACAS guidelines so the law is on your side if a dispute happens.

  • How to handle staff absence, poor performance, and misconduct without breaking the law.

  • Making sure your staff contracts, handbooks, and HR policies actually protect you.

  • Quick, practical actions you can take today to keep your business safe and legal.

Why should you attend?

Employment law doesn’t just affect your HR team, it affects your bottom line. An Employment Tribunal can increase compensation awards by up to 25% if a business unreasonably fails to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures.

Our employment law specialists will explain exactly what you need to know, using real-world examples and practical advice you can take straight back to your business.

You’ll leave with:

✓ A clearer understanding of your current responsibilities and statutory duties.

✓ Practical steps to improve your HR processes in line with ACAS guidelines.

✓ Greater confidence managing employee issues legally and fairly.

✓ An understanding of where your business could be exposed to financial risk.

✓ The opportunity to ask questions and get expert guidance.

For business owners, directors, and senior managers. Places are limited, so register your interest today.

Exclusive Bonus: All registrants qualify for a Free Business Document Audit. Bring an employment contract or policy, and our specialists will spot your compliance gaps.

Don’t wait until an employee issue becomes a costly legal problem — make sure your business is prepared. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
