Breakfast seminar: How to handle challenging employees and employees in "particularly independent positions"«

How do we handle demanding personnel cases before they escalate? And what does the recent Supreme Court ruling on a particularly independent position mean for employers? On Wednesday, November 18, BUHR and the law firm Schjødt invite you to a breakfast seminar in Stavanger.

Advokater fra Schjødt gå gjennom de nye reglene og gi tips til hva du må tenke på når du skal oppdatere standardavtalene i din virksomhet.

BUHR vil gjennomgå de praktiske konsekvensene av lovendringen, både for arbeidsgiver og arbeidstaker.

Håndtering av vanskelige ansatte – varsling og rettssak

Jan Fougner i Schjødt, en av Norges ledende eksperter innen arbeidsrett, tar oss gjennom håndteringen av de vanskeligste sakene. Hvordan kan vi unngå at sakene eskalerer? Og hva gjør vi når sakene først har endt i varsling eller rettssak?

Særlig uavhengig stilling

Høyesterett har avsagt en viktig dom om hva som skal regnes som en «særlig uavhengig stilling». Avgjørelsen kan ha betydning for mange arbeidsgivere, og vi går gjennom dommen og gir våre anbefalinger til hvordan bedrifter bør forholde seg til den fremover.
