  • Creating new employment law for Deliveroo and Uber workers won’t be easy, but someone’s got to do it

    The Deliveroo and UberEats protesters, who were making a stand over their pay packets, must feel vindicated. Theresa May has now appointed Matthew Taylor, an ex-head of the Number 10 Policy Unit, to review legal rights for those people working in the gig economy. While all this sounds promising, it's going to be a titanic [...]

  • Are you constantly connecting with work?

    Findings of a recent survey carried out by Arlington Research on behalf of OneLogin, a leader in cloud-based identity and access management, are telling. Out of the UK employees questioned a quarter of them admitted that work apps are the first thing that they check on their mobile devices when they wake up, coming ahead [...]

  • Can you blame employers for cutting benefits and perks because of the National Living Wage?

    Since the introduction on 1 April 2016 of the National Living Wage (NLW) there’ve been plenty of employers in the news for making cuts to staff perks. Le Pain Quotidian, Zizzi, Caffe Nero, Eat, Tesco, the John Lewis Partnership and B&Q have all cut back on certain benefits.  Most of these businesses have denied that the changes are being introduced because of the NLW, but either [...]

  • National Living Wage: Employers must think carefully before discriminating on age

    March 9, 2016

    From 1 April, the new National Living Wage (NLW) of £7.20 an hour must be paid to workers aged 25 and over. This will effectively replace the National Minimum Wage (NMW) for them, which is currently £6.70 an hour. The NLW is expected to increase to around £9.35 an hour by 2020. Workers aged 24 and [...]

  • Can employers now snoop on their employees? Why the European Court of Human Rights’ recent ruling is not that straightforward

    January 19, 2016

    The European Court of Human Rights’ (ECHR) recent decision on accessing employees’ private messages has had a lot of publicity. There have been suggestions that the judgement means that employers can have free reign to go checking up on their staff. That’s not correct at all, and nothing has really changed. The European Convention on [...]

  • What’s replacing banker bashing? Hedge funds, asset managers and the rest of the financial services industry to be hit by Senior Managers and Certification Regime

    October 19, 2015

    So, the government is scrapping its ‘guilty until proven innocent’ proposal for top bankers.Thank goodness. Rather than bankers being required to disprove their guilt, regulators will, actually, have to prove shortcomings. Regulators will need to show that senior managers have failed to take reasonable steps to prevent regulatory breaches in their areas of responsibility. That [...]

  • As the FCA and PRA bring in new whistleblowing rules, will more people come forward in the City?

    October 8, 2015

    The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), alongside the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), has published new rules, encouraging more whistleblowing in big financial firms. That’s good news – and should mean there’ll be greater awareness of whistleblowing. The burning question though is: will there be more disclosures? In 2013 the Parliamentary commission on banking standards had raised concerns [...]

  • The graduate gender pay gap: Gender assumptions must be cast aside if we are to bring about equal pay

    October 1, 2015

    Recently, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, Cambridge and Harvard Universities found that women earn, annually, 23 per cent less than men 10 years after graduating. The Office for National Statistics had estimated it at around 33 per cent. So, we're 10 per cent to the good. Unfortunately, we're still 23 per cent to the bad. That’s not good. The overall UK gender [...]
