WEBINAR | Crimes and offenses related to employment – criminal liability of employers
Registration for the event has been closed
9 February 2021 | 10:00-11:00 | Online meeting
In the current legal situation, over 50 crimes and offenses related to the employment of employees may be committed by persons representing the employer, i.e. management staff or members of the management board.
The risk of criminal liability is present in many areas of HR law. It applies to accidents at work, relations with trade unions, conducting collective disputes or the activities of social labour inspectors. Recognizing the risk of liability allows to properly manage the organization and staff, as well as avoid investigations and criminal proceedings.
During the webinar we will speak about:
- What are crimes and offenses and why are offenses important?
- The specifics of criminal cases related to the employer's liability, how to prevent it and where the problems most often come from
- Whose risk is it actually?
- How many criminal law cases are there in Poland and what are the penalties?
- What is the latest trends in criminal labour law?
During our online meeting, we will present the book "Crimes and offenses related to employment" authored by Damian Tokarczyk, which you can win by describing the most absurd accusation made by PIP (National Labour Inspectorate) or another authority for committing a crime or offense related to labour law, which indicates that the accuser did not know the regulations or practice or demonstrated ignorance about the law and the labour market.
In order to take part in the contest, please send your story by e-mail to prohr@raczkowski.eu by February the 26th, 2021. We will choose the one that most accurately shows the lack of experience and skills of the authorities in such matters.
The broadcast link will be sent one day before the webinar.
