Employment Laws Update Conference 2016
Is your HR department up-to-date with all the recent changes to the POPI, BCEA, EEA and LRA?
Is it ready to take on the myriad of challenges they present?
Employment law is confusing, frustrating and daunting, but how HR executives deal with the legal stresses of their jobs is an issue seldom talked about. Most HR professionals suffer in quiet horror wondering when the next lawsuit will appear or if they'll hear about an important law months after it was passed. The recent labour law amendments do place employers in a compromising position and business owners need to prepare for these changes.
With addition of legislation such as Protection of Personal information Act in 2015, the legal field in which employers navigate could not have been more complex in this era of social media.
This conference will help HR managers and directors with legal information and toolkits to enable them to formulate and update their workplace/employment policies and practices in accordance with the changing demands of the new legislation.
Main areas to be covered will be;
• POPI Act and regulations update
• Employment Equity Act amendments 2015
• Employment Services Act 2014 (effective 9 August 2015)
• Labour Relations Act amendments and regulations 2014
• Occupational Health and Safety regulations update
