Subscribers to EOR will receive a £150 early booking discount for the Hot Issues in Employment Law conference, devised and chaired by Michael Rubenstein, where the key developments in legislation and case law for 2010-11 will be explained by 22 leading experts over two days on 23-24 September 2010.
Hot Issues in Employment Law has become one of the real highlights of the conference calendar. Often imitated, but never matched, the unique format of 11 sessions per day, delivered by a collection of employment law luminaries, represents tremendous value for money and is a highlight of the conference calendar.
This year the key legislation day will be updating delegates on a wide range of topics from the Agency Workers Regulations, working time issues and harassment at work to whistleblowing, collective redundancy consultation, and discrimination on grounds of religion or belief. The impact of parts of the Equality Act 2010 will be considered in sessions looking at the new provisions on pre-employment inquiries, at changes to the law on pregnancy, maternity and paternity, and non-financial remedies for discrimination. Our expert speakers will also be reviewing recent changes to the law on age discrimination and on equal pay.
The new case law day will explain the practical significance of some of the leading decisions over the past year. Issues to be explored include employment status, implied contractual terms relating to trust and confidence, dealing with team moves, varying contracts of employment, protecting confidential information, and the right to legal representation in internal disciplinary hearings. Other sessions will look at the latest cases on the workplace stress, industrial action, compromise agreements, the enforceability of EU law, and what is a TUPE transfer.
