Welcome to the Spring edition of Recruitment Watch, where we delve into the legal issues that are currently shaping the recruitment services sector.
In this edition, we examine the impact of the April 2025 changes to the small company financial thresholds which will take more contractors outside the scope of the off-payroll working rules from April 2027. We also consider the government's response to the consultation on tackling non-compliance in the umbrella company market, which confirms that umbrella companies will be brought within the scope of the recruitment industry regulatory regime.
We focus on equity incentives and explain why share plans and employee ownership trusts are becoming increasingly popular in the recruitment services sector.
You can visit our Employment Rights Bill Hub for our extensive analysis of this Bill. If you missed it in our Winter edition, you can read our examination of some of the key impacts of the Employment Rights Bill on staffing companies.
In the first of our new series of webinars on investigations, we discuss workplace investigations in the increasingly regulated world of work.
Finally, we celebrate Corndel's acquisition by Galileo Global Education and our work with Corndel's management team.
If you would like to discuss any of the issues raised, or there is a topic you would like us to cover in one of our future editions, please get in touch with a member of the Recruitment Services team or by contacting us.
