End of Year Company Parties
Date Published: 01/12/2019
Given the time of the year, we are here to remind Employers to be cognizant of the end of year Company party and the potential risks associated to same. Whilst it is the “season to be jolly” and an End of Year Company Party (often referred to as the “Christmas Party”) can be great team building opportunity, it is important to remember that an Employer may be liable for the conduct of its Employees at such an event organised by the Employer, even when a party takes place somewhere other than in the workplace.
