90-Minute Judgments: Retrenchment

90-Minute Judgments: Retrenchment

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 judgements coming out of the Industrial Court of Trinidad and Tobago are useful to inform and direct future behaviour, policies and decisions in relation to matters that involve 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.

This programme is designed to equip business owners, supervisors, managers, IR and HR professionals who are seeking to strengthen their understanding of the retrenchment process and key obligations of employers.
