    Reclaim a wages overpayment from furlough?

    Hi, I have an employee whose wages were overpaid an amount earlier on in the year, prior to being on furlough. My MD is now pushing for a letter to be sent her to reclaim this amount, plus another amount that she owes. I understand that reclaiming an over payment of wages is normally not a...

    Just how flexible is Flexible Furlough?

    I've googled and can't find the answer to my question..... The company I'm running (I don't own it) supplies directly into the entertainment industry, so we've been hit hard. We have a number of large projects just going into manufacture that had all their funding in place a long time ago. My...

    SSP or Company Sick Pay

    Thank you so much for your very useful post. No, it's always been CSP for nearly 20 years. That was my understanding, that he'd created a precedent. The first three days are unpaid, so my understanding is that I can do that as SSP. And I'm assuming that we can claim the SSP rate back from...

    SSP or Company Sick Pay

    In the light of the corana virus, which would take precedence? We have a generous sick pay scheme for longer term employees (3 days unpaid and then up to 8 weeks at full pay, then reducing down to 50% for another 8 weeks), but the key phrase in our contracts is "at the MD's discretion". We...

    Credit Check Help

    So I have got a little further with this, and thought I would share my information in case it's useful to anyone in the future. I credit card, or any other form of credit, can't be taken out with a business address as the name needs to tie up with the address on the electoral roll. But what...

    Credit Check Help

    I think we're going to have to unless I can find another way. It's very frustrating.

    Credit Check Help

    We have found evidence that an employee has been using the company and/or address to obtain credit cards. Before it's taken any further, we want to check exactly what has been registered. I've just spoken to Experian, and they can't help either. It just seems a little crazy that you can't...

    Credit Check Help

    We use Creditsafe and they can't provide this service, just suggested that we speak to a solicitor. At this point I'm trying to find evidence of anything that has been taken out. If that makes sense.

    Credit Check Help

    Hi, I really hope someone can help, as I'm coming up against a brick wall! Is there way that I can check if a company has had debts (credit cards) registered against it? Also the company address? Thank you.

    TAS Books & MTD

    Hi, I'm just wondering if anybody is using TAS Books, and if so what you're doing about MTD. On their advice, we've moved over to Sage. But I hate it! It doesn't do what they said it would do, and really doesn't work well for us. They do an add-on to make TAS MTD, but that's only going to...

    Cashflow forecast

    Packaging and delivery costs. Are you going to be taking a salary? Then you need to allow for that plus tax, NHI etc. If you're home-based, then have checked with your mortgage provider or landlord that you can actually run a business from the house? There will also be implications on your...

    Can I charge a customer for paying by cheque?

    So it sounds like actually not taking cheques is the way to go, so we will. They're just too inconvenient for us. I had a meeting with our NWB relationship manager recently, and he said that they will be going this way eventually. I generally see it as a delaying tactic personally...

    Can I charge a customer for paying by cheque?

    Exactly as my thread title, I have three customers who insist on paying by cheque. It's clearly a delaying tactic, but as a company we're pretty cash strapped so I'm trying everything I can to increase my cashflow! Apart from all of the above, we are on an industrial estate so one of us has to...
