With the ‘silly season’ upon us, end of year work functions, team bonding events and Christmas parties are in full swing.
What happens – and who is responsible – when an employee has a little too much fun in the name of ’Xmas spirit‘ and injures themselves or others?
In this presentation, Kim Villis and Shelby Wells will:
- explain the extent of employer liability for the purposes of Queensland’s workers’ compensation legislation, covering both the statutory and common law frameworks
- provide guidance on reasonable steps employers can take to minimise their exposure to liability for injuries sustained by workers
- explore relevant case law and discuss hypothetical scenarios arising from these cases.
We hope you can join us.
