Day 1 Claims Breakfast Seminar

Employees without the qualifying 1 year’s service cannot usually bring a claim for unfair dismissal in the Employment Tribunal.

Legislation comes into force in April 2012 to increase this to 2 years’ service. But will this really reduce claims? Using practical case studies, our seminar will consider:

  • The potential effect of qualifying service increasing to 2 years and which employees will be affected
  • How to spot potential claims (including automatic unfair dismissal, whistleblowing and discrimination) that employees can bring from day 1 of their employment
  • How to mitigate the risksof employees bringing day 1 claims

Date: 26 April 2012         Time: 8am-10am          Venue: Floyd Graham & Co            Cost: Free
