Basics Bootcamp Agenda – Wales 2025

What’s Happening in Employment Law
Ian Smith, SLCC National Employment Advisor

This session is a rundown of what you need to know in employing staff, the changes that have already happened and those that are due to occur in the next couple of years. Learn about what will happen to employment tribunal claims and the impact on your organisation when the current two year time limit is abolished and a lot more besides.

It is aimed chiefly at clerks as employers, but many of the items featured apply equally to employees.
