Description
The festive season is arguably one of the best times of the year, but for HR and payroll, it also comes with lots of planning and risk management. From annual shut downs and working public holidays, to case studies involving drunken Christmas party antics, we’ll guide you on how to safely navigate the festive season without being the fun police!
Learning Outcomes – Learners should be able to:
- Identify their obligations and communicate with employees in relation to annual shut downs, public holidays, requesting employees to work, leave black out periods and leave balances;
- Identify HR and worker’s compensation risks in relation to Christmas parties and end of year functions, and implement effective strategies to mitigate the risks;
- Communicate with employees and leaders about appropriate conduct during the festivities;
- Describe party and function options suitable for their workforce and business objectives;
Effectively apply these learnings to other scenarios throughout the year such as the Easter long weekend and planned maintenance shut downs.
