Hi,
In this bulletin we look at the Governments review of red tape in employment legislation and the consultation that has recently been launched relating to family leave, news that sickness absence is continuing to decline and some advice on performance reviews.
There’s also an invitation to all our readers to join us in cheering on the Crispin Rhodes Crusaders at the Olney 7’s rugby tournament at Olney Rugby Club on Saturday, 9th July.
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.
