Description
Did you know that Legal Island celebrates its 25th Birthday this Summer? And Seamus has been doing Employment Law at 11 with us since September 2017! Hard to believe! So, in celebration of our long-standing partnership, we bring you some of Seamus’ Greatest Hits – the topics and conversations that you engaged with the most. Where are we now with them? Have things changed? And if so, is it for the better?
1. English language in the workplace - Is it ok to insist that staff speak only English in the workplace?
2. Employee behaviour - What standards of behaviour can be inferred into an employment contract? Can an employee’s probation period, for example, be extended for reasons related to their standards of behaviour, rather than for a performance issue?
3. Social media and the workplace – what standards can you insist on in relation to social media in the workplace? What if a sick employee is spotted posting pictures on social media while their off? Can you sack employees for their conduct on social media if it’s not directly related to their job?
4. Resignation - When can a resignation be rescinded?
Christine and Seamus and up to 500 participants discuss your employment law queries live in our webinar series, “Employment Law at 11”.
Tell your HR colleagues and register individually or get your HR team around the computer and use the webinars as monthly group learning opportunities.
Please note that the employment law matters discussed in this webinar apply primarily to Northern Ireland.
