Webinar Fee:

This webinar will cover the Employment Relations (Triangular Employment) Amendment Act, which came into force in July 2020. That allows employees to raise a personal grievance against not only their employer, but also any “controlling third party” who has control or direction over the employee’s work. Secondment arrangements may be impacted, as well as organisations who engage temporary workers/contractors from labour hire companies (as well as the labour hire company itself).

Participants will gain an understanding of the key issues and risks, and potential strategies for dealing with those.
