GOOD WORK PLAN COMES INTO ACTION
The Government is pressing ahead with some key changes to several pieces of UK legislation that will come into effect in April 2020 affecting the contractual and working arrangements with staff. As part of the Industrial Strategy,
the prime minister commissioned the independent Matthew Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices to ensure the UK labour market can adapt to the changes while protecting workers’ rights in the UK. Following this review, the Government responded by publishing its Good Work Plan in December 2018, accepting the vast majority of the recommendations made by Matthew Taylor. The legislation has now been
passed and from April 2020 we will have the following to consider: • Parental Bereavement Leave and Pay
• Changes to holiday pay calculations • Changes to written statements of employment particulars
• Changes to Agency workers’ rights
• Changes to ICE (Information and Consultation of Employees) regulations.
For full details, read the full article on the Good Work Plan on HR Solutions website at

• The Work Plan will be a hot topic at the upcoming HR Solutions Employment Law Seminar in Northampton on 25 March. HR Solutions are offering free tickets to Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes Chamber members.

An independent charity which works to provide support and services to older people in Northamptonshire is looking to recruit new trustees. Age UK Northamptonshire serves the needs of
15,000 older people in the county every year. To help it carry out its vital work it is recruiting new trustees, initially for a three-year term, to its board of trustees. Business relationship manager Laura Graham said:
“We are looking for individuals who can help support the development of the charity’s strategic direction by putting older people in Northamptonshire at the heart of everything we do. “We are looking for trustees with a range of skills
and experience in leadership and senior management within the commercial sector, health sector or who have senior legal or financial professional expertise.”

Ideally, the successful candidates will be able to
demonstrate a track record of meaningful roles in the private, public or voluntary sector. They will have the ability to operate at board level effectively in a significant local charitable organisation. They will also have the time to make the
commitment needed to make a difference to the charity – meeting twice quarterly, attending the annual away day and AGM as well as aligning with one of the charity’s many services. To apply to support Age UK Northamptonshire in
this voluntary capacity contact the chief executive’s office to express an interest at sharon.hepplescott@
