Hi,
Isn't this weather fantastic! Trouble is though when we all have to carry on working. This month, we have some hints and tips on how to minimise the disruption to work during hot weather and warn employers to be alert to fake fit notes. We also look at the procedure that should be followed by an employer who receives a request for flexible working and the Government’s plans to reduce the red tape around employment legislation.
Also read the report about the fantastic success of the Crispin Rhodes Crusaders at the Olney 7’s tournament last weekend.
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
