Employment Contracts Seminar: 6 - 8 March 2012

This full day seminar will show you how to draft an effective and understandable employment contract that will meet the needs of the modern employer in a competitive market. Labour expert Andrew Levy will show you how to draft a contract that will protect your interests without limiting your power, and give examples of the essential clauses you require, currently lacking in most contracts. With the tools to audit their own contracts of employment and make the necessary improvements to update them, delegates will come away empowered with greater control over this critical area.

About the seminar

In the past overly complex and inflexible contracts of employment have limited many employers’ ability to make changes in the workplace. The reality is employers are not required by law to contractualise their rules and procedures in order to enforce them – their common law powers as employers gives them that ability. In other words, less is more is the preferred approach.
