Introduction to Employment Legislation and the Role of the Manager
Overview
“Keep your staff, retain your learners and keep out of court!!”
Content
In the Sports and Leisure Sector, there is so much sector change that it is difficult to keep in touch with other legislation which is important to your organisation, staff and learners. Failure to recognise this and adopt relevant procedures can result in huge penalties from tribunals and court.
Aims and Objectives:
This Workshop aims to provide knowledge and understanding at an overview level so that successful participants should then be aware of:
- The types of legislation that can impact on management of staff
- Relevant legislation that affects employed and unemployed learners
- The risks and penalties and the outcomes of some recent cases
- The range of systems and procedures that could be put in place
- What further information they need and what action they should take
The Workshop will cover the following topics but note that many cannot be covered at a detailed “implementation” level in this one-day event; some topics needing a whole day to allow full explanation and advice. Follow on full day sessions can be provided where required.
