WORKSHOP A
This practical one-day workshop is designed to provide attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct lawful terminations and redundancy processes. Participants will learn how to minimise the risk of costly legal claims, such as unfair dismissal, general protections claims for adverse action, breaches of awards or enterprise agreements, unlawful discrimination, and workers’ compensation claims.
WORKSHOP B
Reliance on complex processes such as formal performance improvement plans doesn’t always have the desired outcomes. Even with the most sound and well intentioned performance improvement and disciplinary processes in place, the risk of legal action is still there. We will also workshop how to continue in the face of any claims or grievances made, with legal confidence.
