Join Mark Werman for an evening of learning the Top 10 Legal
Minefields of employment in dental practice and how to avoid them.
Mark, who heads-up the ADA HR Advisory Service, knows about HR
issues in dental practice and the problems that often arise. He’s been
advising dentists on these issues for over 20 years – and for the past
12 years, he and his team of workplace relations advisers have been
running the ADA HR Advisory Service.
The employment relationship is fraught with danger and for those
practices that are unprepared and uninformed, is potentially one of the
most litigious areas of running your practice. Sadly, dentists continue to
be exposed to these employment legal minefields. Make sure that you
are not one of those many practices who continue to be caught-out,
by attending this highly informative session. Well-known for his
interesting and engaging presentations, Mark’s use of actual dental
practice case-studies, teaches you in a most practical way, how to
protect your practice from employment law risk.
Among the employment legal minefields to be addressed are:
∙∙ Terminating employment for serious misconduct or
unsatisfactory performance.
∙∙ Ineffective HR systems – including poor workplace policies,
ineffective performance appraisal and out-of-date job descriptions.
∙∙ Ambiguity whether your worker is an employee or a contractor.
∙∙ Bullying and harassment risk.
∙∙ Discrimination laws and how it applies to dental practice.
Save your practice from penalties, fines, damages
and massive back-pay obligations – and save yourself
from the enormous psychological trauma and stress
caused by defending these claims, by joining us for
this must-attend session!
