Hi,
Now that the Christmas and New Year festivities are in the dim and distant past, this month we look at the Government’s new Employers’ Charter, information on the recently-launched consultation document relating to resolving workplace disputes, the second part of our article on how to deal with different religions and beliefs in the workplace and news of an Acas publication aimed at helping employers understand the Default Retirement Age changes that take effect from 6th April, 2011
As ever, your feedback is always appreciated so please do let us know if there’s anything else you would like to see in our e-Bulletin.
Kind regards,
Angela
