Mansfield businesses are being offered the opportunity to learn how to avoid being one of the 240,000 businesses involved in an employment tribunal hearing each year.

Hosted at the Mansfield offices of Chartered Accountants McGregors Corporate, experts from the UK’s leading employment law and health and safety consultancy Peninsula Business Services will provide Mansfield business owners the opportunity to discuss current and future issues and obtain commercial and practical advice on employment law best practice.

Commenting, McGregors Director, Chris Holder, said, “As business advisors we always ask our clients what keeps them awake at night and invariably staff issues are somewhere near the top of the list. At lot of management time can be spent worrying about poor performance, troublesome employees, not being able to retain staff and being in fear of the cost if they get their employment practices wrong and end up in a tribunal.”

He added, “Our seminar is intended to help ensure business owner don’t fall foul of the growing claims culture and to help them be proactive by providing an update on new and changing legislation to the paternal leave, equality bill, and the new “Fit note” bill. The aim is to help businesses adhere to the law but without compromising the employee or employers rights.”
