About:
Join us in September to hear from our legal experts about key employment law decisions from the last six months and how these might affect your organisation, along with important legislative and Government policy developments relevant to HR.
We'll examine recent cases, including whether provisions requiring employees to repay training costs are legally enforceable, how compensation should be calculated in unfair dismissal claims, and whether an employer's attempt to withdraw a job offer amounted to a breach of contract.
In addition, we'll provide an update on the Employment Rights Act 2025 reforms, focusing on a trade union's right to request workplace access and the effective use of probationary periods as the qualifying period for ordinary unfair dismissal claims reduces from January 2027.
