This breakfast briefing will give you the tools you need to help ensure a solid and accomplished investigation, including checklists and templates to use in the workplace.
At KLC, when we are dealing with an employment tribunal claim, and see a poorly run investigation, we know that the game is probably up and that settlement is probably the only sensible option.
A fair, and properly conducted, investigation is the foundation of a fair disciplinary/grievance procedure, as a flawed investigation will bring the walls tumbling down and result in a successful employment tribunal claim.
This breakfast briefing will discuss the law on unfair dismissal and the landmark case law that has informed our understanding of how the tribunals and courts judge fairness.
Reading the legislation on unfair dismissal will only give a shallow understanding of the law as, frankly, there is not much of it! But while Section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 is brief there is stardust to be found at Section 98(4), which has been interpreted over time in case law to give a complete understanding of what is requied to dismiss fairly within the law.
If you want to brush up on your employment law knowledge in this area, join Cas for a 45 minutes session that will provide you with insight and confidence to make those difficult decisions.
This breakfast briefing will explore the different types of employment status, the associated employment rights, and different types of employment contracts.
The Government has pledged that they will abolish the employment status of 'limb (b) worker' leaving just the status of employee and the robustly self-employed. Until that time, however, we are left with this grey area of employment status, 'the worker'. Although there has been hundreds (more likely thousands) of cases involving the status of worker brought over the years, the matter still brings more questions than answers, and don't get us started on IR35!
In this 30-45 minutes breakfast briefing Cas will explain the different types of employment status and associates rights, and different types of employment contract.
