Boundaries of employment law continously changing
4th March 2008
This year is shaping up to be an exciting one for employment law developments. We have already seen key European decisions on annual leave and disability in the cases of HM Revenue and Customs v Stringer and Coleman v Attridge Law as well as the Court of Appeal decision in James v London Borough of Greenwich on the status of agency workers. With the boundaries of the law continuously changing it is essential for HR to keep up to date on best management practice and key legal changes in the employment arena.
With the Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act set to come into force in April and the Employment Bill reforms it is essential for HR to keep up to date on how these changes will impact in the workplace and make a difference in your organisation. Join us, and your fellow HR professionals, at the premier employment law event of the year - JSB's Annual Conference: Employment Law and Practice 2008.
