The HR Dept has responded to the Government consultation on zero hours and similar contracts, outlining the significant implications for small and medium sized businesses.

Whilst we do support the overall goal of improving job security and predictability for employees, we believe the proposed changes will be unnecessarily complex, time consuming and costly for SMEs.

We have instead proposed an alternative mechanism, with ten key recommendations for the government.

When an employee is struggling with addiction, it's rarely just a personal issue.

The effects can often be seen in the workplace too. Changes in attendance, performance, behaviour or relationships with colleagues can leave employers facing some difficult conversations.

Many business owners want to do the right thing, but aren't always sure where to start.

How do you support the individual while protecting the business? What are your legal responsibilities? And what practical steps should you take if concerns arise?

Check out the below on managing addiction issues fairly, sensitively and effectively.

30th October sees trade union rights expanded again under the Employment Rights Act, this time with sweeping new access rights to workplaces. It only applies to businesses with 21 or more employees, but this includes total numbers spread across multiple sites which will bring more businesses within its scope.

The access includes both physical spaces and digital infrastructure.

The idea is that if you are approached by any trade union, whether you already recognise one or not, you need to negotiate access within the bounds of the new law. If agreement cannot be reached, a Central Arbitration Committee (CAC) has been established which will decide and dictate what happens. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties of tens, or even hundreds, of thousands of pounds.

We explore this further, along with sick notes, National cycle to work day, and more.
