Well, if you believe the weather forecast, that's summer over and done with for 2008. Any of you spending your weekend at the Bestival, best of luck, the fancy dress theme of  "30,000 Freaks Under the Sea" couldn't be more appropriate!

We've got some big news this week, which most of you are probably aware of by now. On October 13th we will be launching two new payment contracts for self employed people. This is the big change I spoke about back in June and July, and what we've been working towards ever since. As with all our payment methods we have taken a great deal of care and have consulted with our advisors to make sure that each of the contracts not only represent the best value for you but are also compliant. Everyone at Gabem has been working hard to bring these contracts to you and we are all looking forward to being able to offer different options for our existing operatives and people who don't want to be paid through an Umbrella Company payroll.

The two payment methods will be called Gabem CIS (for self employed people working in the construction industry) and Gabem Solo (for all other self employed people). They've been created to allow people who are in business in their own right to work compliantly with agencies, remain in control of the way they work and have most of the tedious and time consuming administration that comes with being self employed, taken care of by Gabem.

Alongside the introduction of these contracts you're going to see changes to the website (what I've been working on), the brochures and forms we send out. You'll see navigation improve on the website, with more static menus than you had previously, and more colour all round, tastefully done of course.

We look forward to hearing what you have to say.

I hope you all have a great weekend.
