Ever wondered where the line is at work – and what happens when someone crosses it?
Join AUT Business and Law Alumna Karishma Zafar from Wynn Williams and Laura Hall from Cook Morris Quinn for an engaging and interactive workshop exploring what employers can and can’t do in the workplace.
From restructures to resignations, tricky managers to performance issues, you’ll get a clearer understanding of employment law and how to make sure your workplace plays by the rules.
Put simply, "Can they really do that?"
