Short time working
In today's climate, many employers are looking to cut costs without actually making redundancies. A short-term solution many companies are considering is the introduction of short-time working. However, whilst this can be an effective way to make savings without reducing headcount, the implementation of short-time working is not without its difficulties.
Local law firm Lanyon Bowdler are offering advice on dealing with the difficulties of short-time working and redundancies at their Employment Law Network Seminar which is being held on 5 February at the International Centre, Telford. This seminar has generated a lot of interest and places are filling quickly.
John Merry, a partner and employment law specialist from Lanyon Bowdler, comments “As the credit crunch deepens bringing with it the threat of redundancy, a large number of organisations are looking for ways to save money. I will therefore be offering some valuable guidance on dealing with redundancies and short-time working.”
John’s presentation will be followed by Jo Griffiths, partner and in-house Health & Safety Consultant, who will provide an outline of basic health and safety requirements imposed on employers and the consequences of non-compliance with the new Health and Safety Act 2008.
There will be an open question and answers session and debate, there will also be a chance to sound out solicitors from Lanyon Bowdler with regard to any legal issues you might have “off the clock”.
All this for just £17.50 per delegate - there are still some places so please respond quickly to avoid disappointment. The Employment Law Seminar starts at 09.30 at the International Centre, Telford on Thursday 5 February.
