Chesterfield legal firm launches employment law training workshops and free health checks for local businesses
CMP Legal, a leading niche commercial law firm that specialises in corporate, commercial, dispute resolution and employment law is launching a series of new Employment Law Training Workshops and Free Employment Law Health Checks to support local businesses.
The Chesterfield based law firm will be hosting a series of Employment Law Training Workshops that will cover a range of topics including Handling Investigations, Disciplinaries and Grievances, Managing Sickness Absence, Equality, Discrimination and Harassment in the Workplace and Redundancies and Restructures.
The firm will also be offering Free Employment Law Health Checks to help local businesses navigate the ever-changing employment law landscape. The Employment Law Health Check will assess if all HR documentation, including policies, employment contracts, staff handbooks and employee privacy notices are up-to-date and compliant with the latest changes in employment law.
Lauren Pickard, Employment Director at CMP Legal says: “The launch of our Springtime Employment Law Training Workshops and Free Employment Law Health Check is designed to help local businesses and employers keep up to date with the minefield that is employment law. The law on harassment is being updated in Parliament as we speak, with changes due early next year and it is important that employers are prepared for this with robust policies and procedures.
“It is always best to be proactive, rather than reactive when it comes to matters relating to employees. In April 2020, new legislative changes to employment contracts were introduced, however, we are finding that a lot of employers have not updated their employment contracts to comply with these changes, due to it being overshadowed by the Pandemic.
“Many employers have now introduced remote or hybrid working as a result of the Pandemic, but have not updated their employment contracts or policies to reflect this. We want to support local businesses to ensure that they are compliant with the latest changes in employment law.”
