James Tait, our national Head of Employment, leads this on-demand webinar exploring some of the key changes from last year and looking forward as to what further changes are likely to be ahead in the coming months. Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Holiday pay – calculation challenges and potential reform.
- Industrial action – restrictions, judicial review and the economic climate.
- Fire-and-Re-hire – developments in the wake of P&O.
- Gender identity v gender beliefs – the difficulties of balancing contrary beliefs in the workplace.
This webinar is aimed at employers operating in the corporate, insurance or financial services sectors and will be of particular interest to those working within HR or with responsibility for managing staff.
