One of the Island’s leading employment lawyers, Caren Hyde, Counsel at Appleby (Isle of Man) LLC, has given a free employment law update to the ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) Isle of Man Members’ Network at its latest event.
ACCA members were given an insight into current changes to employment law to help both employers and employees stay on the right side of the system, including:
• Comparison of the UK and Isle of Man Employment Laws
• Unfair Dismissal
• Employment Tribunals
• Sex Discrimination
• Redundancy
• Future changes and updates
Karen Muldoon, ACCA Isle of Man Members’ Network President, commented: “We were pleased to welcome someone of Caren’s calibre to discuss employment issues which are relevant to all of us in these difficult times,” she continued, “ACCA aims to provide our members with timely and informative updates and Caren’s delivery was exactly that.”
The event comes as Appleby’s Isle of Man employment team received a tier one ranking for a second year from Legal 500, the world’s leading independent authority on legal services providers. Caren was among the 15 Appleby Isle of Man lawyers to receive individual recognition, referring to her as ‘an excellence source of advice in all employment law matters’, whose advice is ‘of a high quality and value for money’.
“In these times of unprecedented economic crisis, employers are often faced with difficult decisions about their workforce,” Caren commented, “this update aims to provide practical guidance in some key areas to consider in challenging times.”
She continued: “with unemployment rates on the rise, it is more important than ever that employers and employees alike take the time to look at the options available to them and seek professional advice to ensure they stay on the right side of the system.”
Caren specialises in employment law and is the local team leader for Appleby’s Employment team who deal with both non-contentious and contentious matters, including redundancy, employment issues related to mergers & acquisitions, restructuring, unfair dismissal, sex discrimination and contracts of employment.
