Human Resources Law Masterclass

Employment Law puts several obligations on employers before, during and after employment. Many managers and business owners fall foul of the law and end up in costly litigations. There are an estimated total of 600+ pending cases which are expected to generate some EUR1.2m in penalties and EUR2.1m in legal fees. There are also pending cases on criminal level against company directors under OHSA Act. 

This training programme will address how to steer clear of these pitfalls and others which lurk in the background.
