The Norfolk Hospice Hold Up
The Hospice Hold Up, is taking place on Thursday 10th September 2015 in King’s Lynn.This annual event raises much-needed funds for our patients and their families.
The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House provides specialist palliative care for people living with life shortening conditions in West and North Norfolk and the Fens. A wide range of care and therapies are offered to people including: physiotherapy, creative therapies, hospice at home, bereavement support, home sits and symptom management. It currently costs the Hospice in excess of £2 million to provide this care each year. The NHS funds only 10% of this, with the remaining 90% coming from fundraising activities like the Hospice Hold Up.
For the event we would require yourself or a member of your team to be arrested for charity. Each year we arrest around 20 business men and women, with real police officers, in either their work place or a public place. Arrests take place between 9am and 11am. Prisoners are then escorted to ‘prison’ where finger prints and mug shots are taken. Prisoners are fed and watered – but do not worry it’s not bread and water for our Hospice prisoners. £500 bail is collected and prisoners are free to leave early/mid-afternoon.
It’s a great opportunity to network with other local business men and women whilst raising money for a local charity. Bail is £500, which can be raised beforehand or during the event by asking colleagues, suppliers, customers, friends and family for donations towards your bail. The press usually attend the event and the Hospice has an army of photographers taking photos of the day which will be shared with you post event.
We require all prisioners to be in King’s Lynn to be arrested.
If you have any further questionsor would like to take part please do not hesitate to contact me on jessica.walker@norfolkhospice.org.uk.
We really hope you are able to take part.
Working Time Regulations, TUPE & Non-compete Clauses – Proposed legislative changes
On 10 May 2023, the Department for Business and Trade published a policy paper, “Smarter Regulation to Grow the Economy.” The paper contained details that propose amendments to several areas of UK Employment law that will impact on your business, if made into law.
This blog explores the potential impact that these changes may have on your business Its important to note that, at present, these remain as proposals and are not embedded in law- you should keep doing everything as usual for now.
Working Time Regulations 1998
The proposals set out several amendments to the Working Time Regulations, reducing the administrative burden on employers by:
Removing record-keeping requirements:
Removing case law that imposes time-consuming requirements for businesses to maintain working hour records, you’ll no longer need to keep logs of hours worked by each employee.
Permitting rolled-up holiday pay:
The proposal re-introduces the practice of rolled-up holiday pay, so that workers can receive their holiday pay with every payslip. This is particularly relevant for seasonal, casual or temporary workers, who usually do not need to take holiday and therefore may receive a rolled up payment instead.
Merging basic and additional statutory leave:
Merging the current two separate leave entitlements into one pot of statutory annual leave, while maintaining the same amount of statutory leave entitlement overall. The current system separates the 4 weeks and 1.6 weeks entitlement as they come from two systems; this will merge to two, providing a total statutory allowance of 5.6 weeks.
TUPE: Transfers of business ownership or services
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) Regulations protect employees when the business or organisation for which they work transfers to a new owner, it may also apply when a service transfers to a new provider. TUPE regulations provide important protections for employees and provide a legal framework for transfers of staff, the proposals seek to simplify this process for small and medium sized businesses up to 50 employees and for small TUPE transfers.
Currently, businesses cannot consult employees directly where they do not have employee representatives in place, instead, they must elect employee representatives. The proposal is to remove the requirement to consult with elected employee representations for:
- Businesses with fewer than 50 people
- Transfers affecting less than 10 employees
This change will allow businesses in these circumstances to consult directly with the affected employees.
Non-compete clauses
Non-compete clauses are included in employment contracts to restrict an individual’s ability to work for or establish a competing business after they have moved on from a job.
The proposals set out to limit the length of non-compete clauses to 3 months, providing employees with more flexibility to join a competitor or start up a rival business after they have left a position.
This won’t impact on your ability to use (paid) notice periods or gardening leave, or to use non-solicitation clauses; nor will they impact on confidentiality clauses, or restrictions on (former) public sector employees under the business appointment rules.
Next steps
As these are proposals only at this stage, there’s no need to make any immediate changes. However, you’ll need to keep to up to date with the proposals and any implementation dates. We’ll keep you updated, but in the meantime, if you want to ensure that you’re fully compliant, let us help you and contact us today.
