Post election moves

The advent of this new era in politics courtesy of the coalition government means interesting – if not uncertain - times for the country and for businesses. The Queen’s Speech has given us some clarification and there will be more over the coming months.

We already have the Agency Workers Regulations and the changes to pension regulations planned for 2012 firmly on our radar.

The deadline for the introduction of the AWR is just 18 months away now. A number of our clients are taking their lead from us on introducing processes to ensure compliance. We have been heavily involved with industry body the REC from the first discussions of those particular regulations so we’re well placed to take on a valuable HR role on behalf of our clients and to advise them appropriately. Our latest initiative is our breakfast law briefing at the end of June.

The director of external relations for the REC Tom Hadley will be speaking as will local employment expert Martin Bloom from Hegarty LLP Solicitors. The seminar will provide the perfect opportunity for businesses to find out exactly what they need to do – and obviously how we can help.

Our bi monthly e-newsletter has more information about compliance and legislative changes that affect businesses. Email info@annecorder.co.uk to request your copy.
