    Redundancy and Pregnancy

    Sorry to drag up an old thread, but we're having problems with getting the mat pay sorted now, need someone experienced in Payroll for advice. As said before, her paid (but unworked) notice finishes on the 24th June, so technically she's still employed. However they seem to have put her...

    Startup cash

    I may have identified a gap in the market for something, which I'm investigating just now. If I'm right, it could be something I could run part-time and keep my current job - I'm researching at the moment on whether the market is actually there or I'm kidding myself, so time will tell...

    URGENT HELP NEEDED!!! Paypal debt collection and NOT my fault

    I used to work in a bank, and this is exactly what would have happened. Unsure myself of the next plan of action tho.

    Accounts software v's Spreadsheet

    I wasn't saying it was the best way - there are times I dislike it myself - but it's the only way I've been taught. I joined the company with a head for numbers, and have been trained in the past year to do the accounts this way, so it suits just now. The company isn't bothered with expansion...

    Accounts software v's Spreadsheet

    I do the monthly accounts and quarterly VAT returns for the small business I work for, all on Excel, and I don't have any problems. Partly due to me being quite good with Excel, but also I have double checks between the monthly sheets and I am paranoid of making mistakes so I tend to double...

    Redundancy and Pregnancy

    Good news yesterday, she's getting the Mat Pay as her qualifying date is 1 day before the end of her notice!! We're getting it all in one lump, as she has to be removed from the payroll, so we'll have to separate it and drip feed into our main account, but it's a load off. Not sure about the...

    Redundancy and Pregnancy

    There's 3 of them covering the distribution centre just now, but the roles are being centralised largely, to leave one "Training Manager" or something like that, and they are being consulted about applying, although apparently its not certain one of them would get it - something to do with going...

    Redundancy and Pregnancy

    Hi guys, hoping you can help me out a bit here. My fiance was told last week that she was being made redundant, the consultation period to last 60 days. This would take her to the 27th May, and the paperwork she has received indicates with the redundancy payment 1 months salary in lieu of...

    Transferring a lease

    The firm I work for rents out a few commercial properties. One of our tenants, A, took over a unit last year, set up a showroom and started trading. He has been late with his rent a few times, and constantly moaning that he isn't doing any business. This is partly due to the fact he's...

    Public Liability Insurance

    Thanks for all your replies guys. I may not need to even think about it for quite a while yet, but at least I know it's do-able.

    Public Liability Insurance

    I have a hobby that I may be able to turn into a small part-time business, to supplement my main income. After doing some research, given the field and contracts I may be going for, I will probably need PLI as I will be dealing with the public. Don't mind that, but when I did a quick check...

    Electricians - need advice

    That's pretty much the plan I think. It's what we were going to do originally, but the owner asked me to check out putting a separate supply in as a matter of course. Thanks everyone for your help, I'll let you know how it goes.

    Electricians - need advice

    The man from Scottish Power was out on Friday, but wasn't promising. Told me it would probably cost a couple of grand, with us having to arrange to dig up from the road (where the main line is) to the building. Only 8 feet or so, but a nightmare cost-wise. Electrician should be along sometime...

    Electricians - need advice

    Well I made a call to Scottish Power, the supplier to the unit, and they're going to send someone for a quote, only problem is, I can see them wanting loads to dig up the street, etc. Also called the electrician on the books to arrange them to come look at it properly next week as well...

    Electricians - need advice

    I work for a company which has a few industrial units to let. One of the units we recently split into two, taking the heating out of one of them to keep things simple, with the intention of splitting the electrical supply between the units once we find a tennant for the empty part of the...
