While the last 12 months has seen a little respite in the normal raft of new employment legislation for employers, Tribunals have still been busy. This seminar will look at some of themost important cases to affect employers in relation to constructive dismissal, expired warnings, gross misconduct, disability discrimination, holidays whilst on sick leave and agency workers to name a few.
This is an opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others to help avoid ending up in an Employment Tribunal.
