Having employment policies is important but is not an end in itself. They should be relevant; up to date with recent case law and legislative changes; and all staff should know what they are, where to find them and their obligations under those policies. We will look at some of the case law regarding Work Health & Safety Act, discrimination law and employment/industrial legislation and assist you to understand:
What are the key policies that every employer should have;
What are the key aspects they should cover; and
How ought they be implemented in a way that reduces (and does not increase!) the employer’s potential liability.
