One Day Workshop
Every year ACBI represents a small number of it's members at tribunals. They had never planned on being there. Neither did they plan to ensure that they wouldn't end up there.
Ignoring procedures is often as costly in time and legal expenses as in awards. Unfair Dismissals legislation and case law confirm that employers' failure to follow correct procedures may itself be a breach of the law. There is now even greater emphasis on procedures and record keeping.
These procedures can in fact be viewed as a valuable tool as they provide protection and guidelines on how to deal with a specific situation. Record keeping requirements have also grown significantly, and very specific requirements are defined in all recent legislation.
Bad staff management practices could have you in trouble, facing a tribunal appearance, fines and bad publicity. This workshop will cover such areas as:
Recruitment and Selection
Terms of Employment (The Contract), Employee Handbooks
Job Descriptions, Questioning techniques
Employment Equality Act 1998
