Automatic Enrolment

What is it?

The government’s widely publicised automatic enrolment pension scheme began on the 1st of October 2012. The scheme was introduced with the intention of making it easier for people to save towards their retirement. Eventually all employers will need to enroll their staff in a qualifying scheme should they not already be in one.

Parking on private land

Wheel clamping on private land is now a criminal offence as of 1 October 2012.

Whilst there are some limited exceptions under local by-laws, it is really only the DVLA and Police that are allowed to clamp from that date.

The new law comes in response to numerous complaints about instances of gross overcharging for parking on private land.

Take control of your contracts

For any ambitious business, the contracts you sign define your customer and supplier relationships.  When all is going well that much discussed document will be gathering dust in your filing cabinet.  But if the terms of the deal ever come into question it soon becomes a vital point of reference and ultimately could be argued over in court. 

A small amount of time and money invested at the outset getting the right contract agreed, could prevent a far higher expenditure and wasted management time later on. 

But how can you ensure the contract works in your best interest?
