3rd September 2008: Susan's Legal Bits and Housekeeping

Hi and welcome to the mid-week blog post. No looking back or ranting today, just a quick update and some housekeeping.

Susan's Legal Bits has been updated. This month she is being quite topical and has been looking at the "Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations 2006", or as we like to call it Tupe [SteveG: Tupe or not Tupe that is the question]. If you're working through a Gabem Umbrella Company, you should have received a letter about this if you haven't or if you would like to know more feel free to get in touch.

In her post Susan refers to the legislation as both beautiful and fascinating.....Susan's previous legal bits including the article on Childcare Vouchers and the Agency Workers Directive are all available to read if you go to her section.

In other website news we will have further information on dispensations soon, and by the next blog you should be able to email us at the blog directly rather than go through the contact page, we will be making it easier to contact us by having a direct email address.

The blog has been archived, and as usual I have left the last two posts for people to look back at so it's not completely bare.

If you haven't read Steve's page on the Government Consultation on expenses it's really worth a look, especially if you haven't read anything about it before.

Lastly and on an entirely unrelated, and particularly geeky note, if you haven't checked out Google's New Internet Browser, "Chrome" it's not bad. I wouldn't switch over yet, but I'll bear it in mind if I ever tire of Firefox.

Hope you're all having a great week.
