In this section I look at matters that affects those companies that have employees. 1. The increase in holiday entitlement. 2. Rolled up holiday 3. Entitlement to holiday pay whilst employees are off sick !. 4. Training where employees may be exposed to asbestos;

In this second section there is information of interest to most small businesses. 1. Tendering for larger contracts. 2. Selling overseas. 3. New register for complimentary therapists. 4. Playing Music in the Workplace ? Don’t be bullied into paying. 5. Could you be paying too much in Business Rates ?
