Watch out for HMRC Scams
It could be a scam if it:
1. is unexpected, 2. offers a refund, tax rebate or grant, 3. asks for personal information like bank details, 4. is threatening, 5. tells you to transfer money
You can be sure that HMRC will:
1. only ever call you asking about a claim or payment on a debt that you already know about, 2. never leave a voicemail threatening legal action, 3. never give the reason for a call on a voice message
If you receive any communication through WhatsApp claiming to be from HMRC it’s a scam.

New employer legislation
| Posted on December 17, 2018 at 5:10 AM |
Employers - Please be aware of the following new legislation as it applies from today.
The government has introduced what it claims to be the biggest package of workplace reforms for 20 years after concerns that ministers have failed to appeal to voters who are “just about managing”.
Legislation that comes into effect today will ensure:
- Employers give workers details of their rights from the first day in their job, including eligibility for paid and sick leave
- Workers are given the right to request more predictable hours
- Measures will be taken to ensure that seasonal workers get the paid time off they are entitled to
- Iincreased fines of up to £20,000 for employers who have deliberately victimised their staff
The reforms, outlined by the business secretary Greg Clark, plan to stop the “unfair” use of pay-between-assignment contracts which allow businesses to opt out of equal pay arrangements for agency employees.

I would like to express my appreciation to you just for bailing me out of this predicament. Because of checking throughout the world-wide-web and getting tricks which are not beneficial, I figured my entire life was well over. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the issues you have fixed by means of your report is a serious case, as well as ones which might have in a wrong way damaged my career if I had not noticed the website. Your main ability and kindness in taking care of all things was tremendous. I am not sure what I would've done if I had not come upon such a subject like this. I'm able to at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot very much for this high quality and amazing help. I will not think twice to recommend the website to any individual who needs direction on this problem.

I must show thanks to you for rescuing me from such a setting. After looking out throughout the online world and meeting notions which were not pleasant, I assumed my life was over. Living without the presence of strategies to the issues you have sorted out through your good posting is a critical case, as well as those that could have adversely damaged my entire career if I hadn't discovered your blog post. That ability and kindness in touching almost everything was useful. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a subject like this. I can at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time so much for your professional and results-oriented guide. I will not think twice to recommend your web site to any individual who wants and needs guidelines about this situation.

I would like to show my appreciation to this writer just for rescuing me from this predicament. Right after searching through the world-wide-web and seeing advice which were not productive, I thought my life was done. Being alive devoid of the answers to the problems you've sorted out through the blog post is a crucial case, and the kind which may have in a negative way affected my entire career if I had not encountered your blog. Your main mastery and kindness in dealing with all the pieces was invaluable. I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't encountered such a subject like this. I can also now look forward to my future. Thanks a lot very much for the professional and amazing help. I will not be reluctant to propose your web sites to anybody who desires guidance on this topic.
