Introduction of the Employment Law Bill - Rochelle Murinas explains the key changes you need to know about – https://lnkd.in/esDUPwP5 All the focus might currently be on the Autumn Budget at the end of October but there is a very good chance updates to employment law will take place early this week. Why? Well Labour promised to introduce the Employment Law Bill, describing it as "once-in-a-generation" changes, within their first 100 days in office. Those hundred days would take us up to the end of this week. This Bill is set to focus on areas such as day one rights, fire & rehire, zero-hours contracts and protection for new parents, all of which are due to see major policy shifts. Rochelle Murinas, our HR Director and employment law specialist, has broken down these key changes, so that you can prepare your business and stay ahead of the curve – https://lnkd.in/esDUPwP5

We were delighted to be one of the gold sponsors of today’s Morley 10k 🏃♂️➡️🏃♀️➡️ As it's an event that takes place only a short walk from our Leeds office, you might say some of our team had the home advantage when taking to the course this morning. As sponsors, we were also on hand at the finish line, delivering a sweet treat of Divine Chocolate UK to each finisher 🍫 and helping to give out medals at the end of the race 🏅 Congratulations to all our runners, and thank you to our volunteers, who have all earned their Sunday roast. A big well done to Morley Running Club and Morley Town Council for putting on such a great event too 👏 It caps a week of sporting achievement in Yorkshire, with our team also conquering the Yorkshire Three Peaks last weekend ⛰️⛰️⛰️

Our series on the upcoming Autumn Budget continues with a focus on SMEs. With the majority of news headlines referring to the word ‘uncertainty’, it may feel as though you can't plan for the future until the announcement on the 30 October. And whilst you can’t control the uncertainty, there are still things you can be doing to ensure you are well prepared for any changes – whether these bring challenges or welcome relief. One major step is strengthening your foundations with effective cashflow management. Michael Sala, Client Services Manager, from our Altrincham office, talks us through his top tips for SMEs, what you can do now and how it can strengthen your financial position - https://lnkd.in/ezrC6JMR

On Saturday, our team took on the Yorkshire Three Peaks in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support ⛰️✅ https://lnkd.in/dfrttkFk   After an early 5am start, they watched the sunrise from the summit of Ingleborough. The weather stayed on their side for the second peak, Pen-y-Ghent, but the same can’t be said for Whernside, which proved to be a tough finish as the rain started to pour. 🌧️   24.5 miles and 5,200ft later, everyone completed the challenge in under 12 hours. 👏 They've raised an impressive £12.4k so far, meaning they are so close to their £15k target!   If you’d like to show your support for our wonderful walkers, you can still donate here. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dfrttkFk
