The Beecroft report commissioned by the UK government proposed several reforms to UK employment law, including allowing small businesses to dismiss unproductive workers without cause by paying compensation. While the government is considering some proposals like simplified redundancy consultation periods, it has rejected recommendations such as exempting micro-businesses from auto-enrollment in pension plans and will not implement all of the report's radical reforms. The document discusses the controversy around these employment law reforms proposed in the Beecroft report.

This document provides notice of proposed rulemaking regarding New Hampshire rules governing Family Centered Early Supports and Services (He-M 510). The proposed rules would adopt the expired He-M 510 rules from 2008 with some changes for clarity and program integrity. The changes include removing an annual eligibility evaluation requirement, broadening eligibility categories, requiring agreements with local education agencies, expanding qualified personnel, and requiring access to private insurance for therapy services. The proposed rules aim to establish standards for early supports and services provided to New Hampshire families with children ages birth to 2 who have developmental delays or conditions.
The document provides a weekly summary of top HR and management stories, including:
1) Changes to UK agency worker regulations that will require equal pay and conditions after 12 weeks, prompting companies to reassess their workforce.

Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) route in HC 535--clarifying the rulesMikhail Adam
Minor technical changes have been made to the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) immigration route including clarifying evidential requirements for investments and the genuine entrepreneur test. The changes aim to improve evidentiary standards and prevent abuse in response to feedback. However, the route may still require reform as recommended by the Migration Advisory Committee to focus more on viable, scalable, and innovative business proposals. Certain areas like funding from angel investors or crowd funding remain unclear and require further consideration.
new B-BBEE regulations demand greater transparency and scrutinyParusha Desai Valodia
The new B-BBEE regulations in South Africa demand greater transparency and scrutiny of transactions. Key changes include criminalizing fronting practices, establishing the B-BBEE Commission to oversee compliance, and requiring registration of major B-BBEE transactions and compliance reports from listed companies. The regulations aim to eliminate unintended consequences of B-BBEE like fronting that undermine its objectives, increase transparency of transactions, and enable the B-BBEE Commission to identify non-compliance and promote transformation.
The purpose of this monthly report is to provide you with an opportunity to better understand recent news at both a macro & micro level, to understand topical trends covered in the media around the economy and the contingent workforce - both locally & globally, and to discuss how these may impact business in Australia and New Zealand.
Implementation of Project Bank Accounts across Highways EnglandLloyd Biddell
Highways England introduced Project Bank Accounts (PBAs) to improve payment practices in the construction supply chain. PBAs are ring-fenced bank accounts for each project that ensure timely payments down to tier 3 suppliers. Highways England chose to use a single authority PBA model where the lead contractor manages payments to suppliers. The goals were to increase security, certainty and speed of payments compared to previous practices where lower tiers often faced delays of 100 days to be paid. Highways England implemented PBAs on its projects to achieve these benefits and support its supply chain.

In an unexpected move, Britain chose to Exit out of the EU on Friday. After the exit from EU, Britain has two options from a policy perspective; one is to deflate and second is to devalue. Due to this separation, Britain has lost their single market for British goods.
•The basic reason for Brexit apart from the concerns of immigrants outnumbering the locals was that, a lot of euro nations have a large amount of debt in government’s balance sheet. For the past 400 years, Europe fought lot of internal battles. After Second World War wisdom dawned upon them that there should be collaborations instead of battles, so eventually after 30-35 years, it led to the formation of the European Union. But after the Second World War incumbent governments in Europe realized that after the 400 years of war and keeping their population in to eternal stress and debt, they have to provide them more prosperous future. So apart from the all the fruits of industrial revolution that they have meaningfully enjoyed, they made lot of social welfare promises to their illiterate. Most of those people are retired today and at their old age, the government is legally bound to provide these benefits to them such as healthcare benefits, social security benefit and pension benefits etc.
HMRC revises its policy in relation to cost sharing groups following judgments from the Court of Justice. Specifically, HMRC will no longer allow the cost sharing exemption for financial and insurance businesses as the Court of Justice ruled the exemption is not available to these sectors. HMRC will provide a two month transition period for affected businesses to regularize their VAT positions. Additionally, the Court of Appeal case involves determining whether VAT on fund management services provided to the University of Cambridge's endowment fund can be attributed to the overall activities of the University.

THE BEECROFT REPORT – WHAT IS THE BUZZ ALL ABOUT?
The Beecroft report is currently making headlines due to the Business Secretary Vince Cable criticizing its content.
However, what is the report and why is it so important.
The report carried out by venture capitalist Adrian Beecroft was commissioned by the Department for Business,
Innovation and Skills (BIS) as part of the "Red Tape Challenge" to identify areas of employment law that could be
improved or simplified in order to help businesses create jobs. It was actually published back in October 2011 but the
Government was forced to publish its contents earlier than intended due to it being leaked to the newspapers.
The headlines have focused on the suggestion to bring in a no-fault dismissal but the report has dealt with many
other aspects of employment law such as changing the consultation period for collective redundancies to 30 days
from the current position of a 90 day consultation where more than 100 workers are to be dismissed. The report
states that the 30 day consultation is currently only available for smaller firms, which means that larger firms have to
pay people an extra 60 days worth of wages.
As for the proposal to introduce so-called “compensated no fault dismissal” this would allow businesses to dismiss
unproductive workers without explanation by simply offering an enhanced leaving payment similar to a redundancy
payment.
In March of this year, the Government launched a call for evidence on introducing these for micro-businesses i.e.
those businesses with fewer than 10 employees. In its call for evidence, the Government proposed that these
businesses should be able to dismiss an employee where no fault is identified on the worker's part, provided that the
employer pays a set amount of compensation. The employee in turn would not be able to bring a claim of ordinary
unfair dismissal. However, they could still bring claims of discrimination or automatic unfair dismissal against the
employer.
This is a controversial proposal and has been heavily criticised by many. Whether this sees the light of day will be
interesting.
As for the recommendations we know the Government will not be implementing, they are:
- Exempting micro businesses from pensions auto-enrolment. The Government has delayed the
implementation of pensions auto-enrolment for small employers. It has also stated that it will not be taking
forward recommendations to exempt micro-businesses from various other employment laws, such as the
right to request flexible working for those other than parents and carers.
- Not implementing the Agency Workers Regulations. These Regulations came into force on 1 October
2011. The UK was required to implement legislation bringing the Agency Workers Directive into force. The
Government has stated that it will review the burden of paperwork associated with them next year.
- Legislate to ensure Polkey reduction in unfair dismissal cases applies to the basic award as well as
compensatory award. The Government will not take this forward as there are already several reasons for
which a basic award can be reduced.
- Simplify immigration law. The Government has stated that it is not planning to take this forward but it will
keep it under review.
