General overview

Every supervisor faces situations in their work where at least a basic understanding of employment law is necessary. It is not just a question of avoiding legal mistakes. More importantly, having solid knowledge of the legal framework and boundaries often provides the freedom and confidence to choose the right course of action.

Target Audience

This seminar is designed for supervisors, HR professionals, and anyone looking to learn the basics of employment law. As the training covers a broad range of topics, it’s best suited for those who do not yet have extensive knowledge of employment legislation.

Further information for participants

No prior knowledge is required. However, even more experienced supervisors will benefit from attending.

Employment Law for Managers Seminar content overview

Key areas covered include:

  • Equal treatment of employees and non-discrimination
  • Recruitment and drafting of employment contracts
  • Pay transparency
  • Processing of employees’ personal data and the requirement of necessity
  • Employees’ incapacity to work and dealing with unclear cases
  • Changes in terms of employment and organizational changes
  • Challenging situations and how to deal with them
    • e.g. underperformance, recurring sick leave, inappropriate behavior
    • Supervisor’s duty to address workplace issues
    • Reprimands, written warnings and termination on grounds related to the employee’s person.

The goal of this seminar is to equip supervisors with tools to handle everyday situations, help prevent mistakes stemming from lack of knowledge and build the confidence to make informed decisions. We aim to provide new perspectives for evaluating both individual and organizational actions. The seminar will also emphasize when to seek advice and review company policies to ensure compliance with employer guidelines.

Through this seminar, supervisors will:

  • understand their key responsibilities;
  • learn how to avoid unnecessary disputes that can consume significant time and resources;
  • understand when they have the authority, and sometimes the duty, to act;
  • be better equipped to act consistently within the organization; and
  • learn how to resolve emerging tensions or escalated conflicts.
