Employment Contract Update - Terms & Variations Explored

Introduction

The contract of employment is an agreement between an employer and an employee and sets out the ‘terms’ of the relationship, namely their employment rights, responsibilities, and duties. The contract also includes implied terms, incorporated terms and expressed terms.

Presented by expert speaker Kathy Daniels, this webinar will provide HR professionals and recruiters with an invaluable update on employment contracts, including the growing use of ‘atypical’ contracts, such as part-time, fixed term and zero hour.

In addition, Kathy will offer guidance on how to manage contract variations in a fair manner to ensure you avoid a breach of contract claim.
