    Holiday Entitlement Above Statutory - Implied Contract?

    Hi, Thank you for the reply. The calculation split the 33 days into 25 "general" days and 8 bank holidays. The 25 days were prorated to 23.5 days (25/37.5*35, rounded up) at 7.5hrs (176.25hrs), then 8 days for bank holidays were added on at 7.5hrs each (60hrs). I don't know how their contract...

    Payroll Solution - 1,000+ Employees

    Good evening, I'm looking at bringing our payroll processing back inhouse, and with that in mind I'm looking at potential software, either server installed or SaaS. Although we currently outsource, all of the "leg work" is done in house, and our outsource bureau mainly provides a processing...

    Apprenticeships and Maternity Leave

    The refusal was made circa eight weeks ago. The learning provider has stated this is a restriction placed on them by the funding agency ("hands tied"), does the learning provider still have a responsibility/liability to ensure it's service is non-discriminatory?

    Apprenticeships and Maternity Leave

    Hi, thanks for the quick reply. They've not made any point on discrimination, it's a point I'm taking up with our HR department. The restriction has come from the Education and Skill Funding Agency.

    Apprenticeships and Maternity Leave

    Hi, A little overdue, but after some pushing with the learning provider, they have now clarified their position. In general, a study break and therefore an extension to the apprenticeship would normally be possible. The training provider have previously been very flexible in allowing...

    Apprenticeships and Maternity Leave

    Hi, Thank you for all the replies, much appreciated. The apprenticeship in question can run for up to 24 months, the employee was 17 months in at the time they started maternity leave and would have completed by the end of August. Thanks again

    Help! I'm spending all my time logging into online banking! How to deal with accounts payable as an SME ...

    Hi The first thing that springs to mind is what credit terms do you have with your suppliers? Most businesses would process a payment run on regular basis (weekly, fortnightly, monthly) for what was as due at that time. E.g., in a previous business we had a lot of stock turnover and frequent...
