The new Labour government has ambitious plans to reform existing employment rights and legislation. The changes will affect all types of employers, and agencies supplying temporary workers. Expect lots of changes in a short timescale! Here is my summary of the new Employment Rights Bill and other measures set out in the government’s “Make Work Pay” pledge.

Off-Payroll: where are we 3 months later?
One of my lovely clients, Intuitive Interim & Executive Search asked me to participate in the FIRST of its “Intuitive Experts” vlog series. A very proud moment for me I must say!
We’re discussing the Off-Payroll Rules 3 months on from go-live. A quick overview of the rules, the significant market reactions and answering some questions submitted by Intuitive’s clients and contractors.
The video is here – enjoy!
Tax Risk Assessments
Not an exciting topic I know, but important all the same. Since the implementation of the Criminal Finances Act in 2017, and the ever-increasing burden of tax legislation and regulation on staffing businesses generally, the obligation to regularly assess and mitigate risk is no longer a “nice to have”.
But there’s very little guidance on how to complete a tax risk assessment, so I decided to give you all some practical hints and tips. Good luck!
IR35N Think Tank
I’ve been incredibly lucky to participate in a number of Think Tank roundtables, hosted by IR35 Navigator, discussing the future of recruitment agencies, contractor engagement models, new trends, and of course the Off-Payroll Rules (since we are all consumed by that subject in the run up to April!).
Here are some of the snapshots from those sessions. As always, any feedback you have is greatly appreciated!

Non-standard Client T&Cs for recruiters
This is a webinar I did in collaboration with the REC (Recruitment & Employment Confederation) to help recruiters understand the areas to look out for when reviewing non-standard contracts with their clients. Big thank you to Lewina Farrell for the intro and insightful input in the Q&A session.
Outsourced services vs staffing
I was asked by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) to participate in their 2020 conference which was very nice of them! I decided to do a short(ish) video all about the difference between temporary recruitment and outsourced services, and it was included in the conference as a bitesize learning session.
The video also includes some practical tips and advice for any staffing businesses who are interested in offering SOW services to clients.
As always, if you have any feedback please let me know via the contact page.
Enjoy!
