SERVICE CENTRE: New employment regulations this April are no joke

2024-03-11T10:58:00+00:00By Jac Roper

The Employment Law Advice Bureau (EAB) advises that there is a shedload of new HR and employment laws coming into effect in April, and warns: “Your current documents are highly outdated and won’t meet the new requirements, exposing you to legal risks. And don’t forget… By law, you must communicate changes with employees in good time.”

PITSTOP: Inner Space Stations, Hull Road, York

2024-02-16T08:51:00+00:00

With a Tardis at its entrance and Daleks and a Cyberman on its roof, Inner Space Stations certainly looks out of this world. However, a mystery shop of the 1,900 sq ft store, and its extensive site, shows that this York business has a very compelling, and down to earth offering.

COMMENT: As the PRA welcomes supermarket membership - how times have changed!

2024-02-09T12:55:00+00:00By

Time was when the mere mention of the term ‘supermarket’ - or ‘hypers’ as they were unaffectionately referred to by many - would spark an eye-rolling, frothing rage among long-suffering fuel retailers.
