The first webinar looks at how the Bribery Act 2010 affects employers, and the second at pensions for employment lawyers (including automatic enrolment). Both are extremely relevant in view of the legislative changes which are taking place. Later webinars deal with collective redundancies, an update on TUPE, the impact of the repeal of the default retirement age, developments in Tribunal practice and procedure, and an assessment of the working of the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 a year after their introduction. The 2012 series will end with an update on the Equality Act 2010.
