Making yourself invaluable to your employer can offer so many rewards. When those promotions come around you’ll be first in line. If you need a bit more flexibility around working hours or working from home options you’re much more likely to get them when you ask. And should the worst happen and redundancies loom in your business you’re more likely to be one of the ‘safe’ ones. 

HMRC has said its switch in focus to Brexit is the main reason why it is to delay plans to introduce more digital services for individuals.

HMRC has admitted it was ‘overly ambitious’ about the number of individuals who would stop contacting the department by phone and post after it introduced digital channels.  At the same time, HMRC has been forced to prioritise EU exit work, including a major upgrade to the customs declaration system.

HMRC’s enforcement teams successfully recovered £15.6m for some 200,000 workers not paid the national minimum wage in the year to April. These figures compare with recoveries in the previous year of £10.9m for 98,000 workers.

In her regular feature, Sarah Palmer tackles the issues that matter.

So we only have until the 25th May to get all our policies and procedures in place before the new Data Compliance legislation, GDPR, becomes law. The irony that we are all struggling to implement EU legislation in the middle of Brexit negotiations is not lost on me….however, the basic principles are sound and I do agree that we need tighter controls on how our personal data is used.
