"I look forward to receiving Consortium every month - the 'Focus on' areas, in particular, are very useful tools in that they literally give us a focus within our business for that month, to concentrate our minds on a specific category and remind ourselves of new product launches and other activity within that area."

Employment law can be daunting, particularly for small to medium sized employers, who may not have a specialised personnel department. In these regular features Your Consortium endeavours to put forward the main issues of current or new legislation, identifying changes to the law, the implications of those changes and what employers should be doing to stay on the right side of the law. Just use the search box (below) to enter what subject you are interested in and we will try to help.
Every legal problem is different and accurate advice can only be given on the basis of the individual facts of each case. Individuals or companies with specific concerns should seek advice from a solicitor.
