Essential Employment Law

A Must for all Managers
Legal constraints on employers are continuing to increase and are becoming even more complex to administer and apply. It is therefore essential that employers, managers and HR departments are up-to-date with legislation and understand how to apply it at work.

This programme is for you if
you are involved in the employment and management of staff. It is particularly useful for new managers, those embarking on a career in human resources or established professionals looking to refresh their knowledge. Essential Employment Law looks at the main areas of the law and will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to address the legal rights of both the employee and the organisation.

On completion of this course you will be able to:
Understand what should be included in the contract of employment
Change a contract of employment
Handle disciplinary situations
Understand when dismissal is appropriate and how to go about it
