Most are aware of the ‘Savings Gap’, but the less well known ‘Protection Gap’ is a much more immediate danger to many millions of UK employees and their families.

11:05 Employment Law: “Exiting problem employees”

A major challenge for many organisations is how to effectively, and legally, manage out problem employees.

Includes case studies and statistics.

Speaker: Sarah Tahamtani, Partner, Clarion Solicitors

11:35 Employee Benefits: “Sinking?”

The current Government have passed more legislation in the employee benefits space than any in living memory. In his unique style, Steve will attempt to bring some clarity and updates to issues as diverse as Pensions Auto-Enrolment legislation (including the Price Cap outcomes), The Health and Work Service, Tax-breaks for medical interventions and Childcare Vouchers.
