90-MINUTE JUDGMENTS: For SMEs and Family-Owned Businesses
According to the Industrial Relations Act (Sec. 10:3), "...the Court in the exercise of its powers shall: (a) make such order or award in relation to a dispute before it as it considers fair and just, having regard to the interests of the persons immediately concerned and the community as a whole…”.
In this regard, careful study and analysis of judgments coming out of the Industrial Court of Trinidad and Tobago are helpful to inform and direct future behaviour, policies and decisions concerning matters involving employers and employees. Having knowledge of, and understanding these statutes can therefore offer essential guidance on managing workplace issues in accordance with the principles of good industrial relations practice.
In this focused, two (2)-part series, participants will explore landmark judgments on leave management and discipline. Each session distills the critical issues, principles of fairness, and practical lessons employers can apply immediately. Through case based analysis, participants will gain clear strategies to strengthen decision making and maintain compliance.
