🤔 In the context of the next version of the whistleblower bill in the pages of our #TaxAndLawTelegram blog, attorney-at-law (PL) Łukasz Błażejewski analyses the issue of protection of whistleblowers from retaliation by the employer, using the example of periodic employee evaluations. 🧑🏻💼 Periodic employee evaluations can become an effective tool for an employer in litigation with an employee who has reported a breach of the law even before receiving a termination notice. 📖 In his latest article, Łukasz Błażejewski shows how an employer can successfully prove that the termination of an employment contract was unrelated to the reported violation of the law. 👉🏻 We invite you to read "Periodic employee evaluations in the context of the whistleblower bill", https://lnkd.in/d8NWTA6p. #whistleblowers #whistleblowing #WhistleblowerProtection #LabourLaw #PeriodicEmployeeEvaluations

Sometimes in business you may have to decide that you would like to offer an #employee a settlement agreement in order to avoid a formal process and reduce legal vulnerability but how do you broach the subject safely? To avoid the possibility that the employee could bring a #legal claim and use the conversation as proof of an intention to #dismiss them? There are two mechanisms which enable #employers to enter into discussion of this nature – the ‘without prejudice’ common-law principle, and the concept of ‘protected conversations’. Read our latest guide to understand how both work and to make an informed decision as to the best approach to use. https://lnkd.in/dMVUSXf2 Let me know if you have any queries #HR #employment #settlementagreement

The North Carolina Business Court recently made an informative ruling in a trade secret misappropriation case. The court denied a former executive's motion to dismiss the case, citing the employer's employee handbook as a key factor. The handbook contained confidentiality obligations, showcasing the employer's efforts to protect the secrecy of their information, despite potentially ambiguous provisions in the executive's employee agreement. This decision underscores the critical importance of having a comprehensive employee handbook that outlines employees' responsibilities related to safeguarding a company's confidential information. #TradeSecrets #BusinessLaw #LegalNews #IPNews

The Workplace Fairness Legislation is set to be introduced in the second half of this year. Do you know what this new law is about, and how it affects your workplace? To help you get started, here are some key takeaways from a recent conversation between Ms Faith Li, General Manager, TAFEP, and MONEY FM 89.3 - The new law will cover all stages of employment. - Workplace discrimination will be defined as making adverse employment decisions due to the protected characteristics stated in the law. - Those who wish to make a claim for workplace discrimination are required to undergo compulsory mediation at the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM). - There will be better protection for employees against workplace discrimination, such as a wider range of penalties, protection for whistleblowers against retaliation, and a requirement for employers to put in place a proper grievance handling process.
