Employment law is entering a period of significant reform this year, with the introduction of the Employment Rights Act and we have been approached with lots of questions from our member firms in relation to the practicalities of implementing changes.
This one-hour webinar, presented by JMW’s Charlotte Beeley, will seek to answer some of those questions and will provide a clear, practical overview of the most significant employment law developments affecting the legal sector — and what your firm should be doing now to prepare. It will address the key areas most likely to affect law firms, including:

• SSP day one entitlement; 
• Family friendly updates;
• Tribunal time limits;
• Unfair dismissal qualifying period reducing to 6 months;
• Uncapped unfair dismissal awards;
• Duty to prevent sexual harassment;
• Introduction of the Fair Work Agency;
• Key risk areas for your management team

The reforms, combined with existing employment obligations, mean that firms need to be proactive in reviewing policies, contracts and procedures.
Sadly, failing to act early increases the risk of tribunal claims so this webinar is a must for ‘office managers’ or ‘Managing partners’ who do not have the benefit of an in-house HR/employment team
