HR & Employment Law for Northern Ireland - inc Employment Law at 11
Employment Law at 11 - 2nd February 2024
Christine and Seamus and up to 500 participants as they discuss your employment law queries in our webinar series, “Employment Law at 11”. This month they discuss:
1.NEW YEAR, NEW LAW - Working Time Regulations
The amended Working Time Regulations came into force on 1st January 2024 – they provide express rights to carry over unused holiday, codify the caselaw in the area and clarify what amounts to normal pay for the 4-weeks ‘EU leave’. Seamus will guide you through the amendments, introduce you to the new guidance just published in both NI and GB and highlight what you need to do going forward.
2.Social Media stresses
Another high-profile case in England, Higgs v Farmor’s School, once again shines a light on the issue of social media and clashing beliefs in the workplace. Our own home-grown social media cases – McDade and Shiels - illustrate that social media and work is not just a problem in England and Wales, it’s very much a factor in dismissals here in NI. Seamus will talk you through the latest caselaw and steps that you can take now to mitigate risks in your organisation.
Please note that the employment law matters discussed in this webinar apply primarily to Northern Ireland.
