Masterclass Seminar – 25 to 27 August 2010

Let labour law expert Andrew Levy help you to reduce over-contractualising in your company. Take control of your HR issues and regain flexibility on employee contracts with new generation documentation that will update your disciplinary procedures and make employment contracts work for YOU.

 

Good documentation is essential to the management of employees - from hiring to termination and beyond. Your documentation should be reviewed and updated regularly to afford you maximum protection and flexibility, as well as to reflect the latest thinking on practice and case law. There is also the new approach to disciplinary procedures to consider; plus the growing realisation that over-contractualizing actually works against the employer; and the fixation on signing documents.

This seminar is devised to help you simplify your documentation and show you how to introduce flexibility and control. Andrew will present practical examples of contracts that remove common dilemmas such as the 'it's not in my job description' excuse and the 'you have unilaterally changed my employment conditions' argument. It will show you how to make legal deductions for money owed to you by an employee on termination and even address the 'I never signed the document' defense at the CCMA.

If your employment documentation is over four years old, or you are currently redrafting or are simply unhappy with its current state, then it should be reviewed and audited. This practical seminar will show you exactly how to accomplish this.
