Dear Colleagues,
Just to let you know there are a few places left on cpd25's forthcoming course on employment law:
As a line manager, working in a library, do you ever wish you knew more about employment law? Would you like to be more confident in addressing any contractual issues that might arise with part-time staff or fixed- term staff? How about issues concerning maternity leave or flexible working?
If you would like to learn a little more about the law relating to these matters then this interactive workshop could be for you.
The workshop will be given by Philip Lott. Philip is a specialist and practitioner in Employment Law. His 'day job' is as Senior Solicitor to a major teachers' and lecturers' union - the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL). His background is in local government and he has spent three years as a full-time legal adviser to a University.
In recent years, he has designed and presented many lively and informative courses and training events for managers and HR staff in Further and Higher Education. Participants find his interactive and energetic approach both enjoyable and effective. His clients include: UCEA (the Universities and Colleges Employers' Association), the UPA (the Universities Personnel Association) as well as many individual old and new Universities.
The seminar will include studies on:
Morning Session:
o Individual employment rights
o Dealing with misconduct/dismissals

o Giving warnings
o Settling disputes
o Industrial action
o Bullying at work/stress claims
o Dealing with intermittent/long term illness o Contracts and collective agreements

By the end of the workshop participants will:

The workshop will be held on Wednesday, 23rd March 2011 in The Hardy Room at the London Mathematical Society, Russell Square. Website: www.lms.ac.uk.
