| Myths,
Mysteries and Minefields Valli Morrison, Rix & Kay Many employers go along with general beliefs regarding employment law because they believe what they are doing is correct, and it protects them from Employment Tribunal claims. Unfortunately this is not always the case! This seminar will go through some of those myths and misunderstandings and will clarify exactly what the law states. Examples being: you can dismiss someone with no comeback during probationary period, you have to have a written contract of employment, you have to consult for 30 days when dealing with redundancies, you cannot ask about child care arrangements during an interview and much more. The seminar will also look at minefields such as long term sickness, swine flu, redundancies and flexible working requests and will simplify these procedures.
