Understanding the Employment Act 1955 & Latest Labour Law Updates
Your HR team is making employment decisions — on termination, leave, overtime, and contracts — based on outdated knowledge, and one non-compliant act is all it takes for an Industrial Court claim that costs far more than the training ever would.
Participants gain a current, practical command of the Employment Act 1955 and its most recent amendments — understanding employer obligations, employee entitlements, and the specific provisions most likely to trigger compliance failures. HR teams leave equipped to advise management confidently and manage employment matters without costly legal missteps.
