Monsters appear...
Just like werewolves during a full moon, some employees might undergo their own beastly transformations celebrating the Halloween weekend.
Can an employee be disciplined and potentially dismissed for their conduct, even if it took place outside working hours?
Oh my gourd!
The definition of ‘religion and belief’ under discrimination law is wide. What are the risks if an employer fires a witch for wanting to take All Hallows’ Eve off work?
Are there risks too if an employer forces workers with different beliefs to join specific celebrations?
Trick, treat or…taunt?
Halloween is the season of jokes. But when does a joke constitute harassment?
Send in the clowns?
Employment lawyers were horrified when an employee in New Zealand invited a clown to lighten the mood at a termination meeting.
The clown made balloon animals and mimed weeping when the termination paperwork was handed over. We’ll look at who can attend hearings as a companion, and to what extent they can take part.
Expect a lively discussion with plenty of opportunity to ask us questions and to network with each other.
