Q. Can an employer withdraw a job offer on receipt of a poor reference?

Yes, provided that the job offer is conditional on receipt of satisfactory references, the employer can withdraw the offer if it receives a poor reference, without this amounting to a breach of contract. Make sure that your offer letter includes the statement that your offer of employment is conditional upon the receipt of satisfactory references or any other requirements you may have such as the right to work in the UK, a satisfactory pre-employment health questionnaire, or a clean driving licence. An employer that receives a poor reference may wish…

Q: What do I need to do to check if an employee is eligible to work in the UK?

Before allowing a job applicant to start work, the employer must carry out a right to work check. From 6 April 2022, employers are able to use a new digital identification verification service when carrying out checks for British and Irish citizens, based on a valid passport (or Irish passport card). To do this, the employer must use a certified Identity Digital Service Provider or IDSP.

With the ‘Great Resignation’ raging on, employers are going to have to get more creative in looking for talent!

The UK is experiencing an early retirement boom, with a whopping three in five people aged over 50 choosing to leave…

I’ve heard that there are some changes to the right to work checks that came into force on the 1st October – what does that mean we need to do?

A recent survey conducted by Xydus, found that almost half (48 per cent) of businesses are unprepared for the upcoming changes to right to work checks, so here’s how you can get ready for the changes coming into force on the 1st October. The survey also found that more than three-quarters (78 per cent) did not know they could face imprisonment if non-compliant with the new checks – so be warned!

Let’s not talk about the Great Resignation, let’s talk about the Great Revelation!

Increased flexibility and greater autonomy during the pandemic afforded workers more time to spend pursuing interests outside of work and even spend more time with their children and partners, and most of us decided that we quite liked these changes! Companies that have remote workers tend to fall into two different types of remote working. Remote companies are either fully or partially remote. Sometimes, they also require people to work from a number of locations. However, central to the majority of remote companies is that most team members have the…

According to Forbes, there’s a resignation Tsunami about to hit UK shores so how are you going to retain your staff this year?

You need to be GREAT EMPLOYER if you want to hold onto your best staff. Complete our short questionnaire to find out if you are meeting the mark! When employers talk about the talent shortages we are experiencing, they typically point to the factors out of their control: such as the Pandemic and the economic recovery and the growing talent shortage across industries. In some ways, they’re not wrong. But in my experience, employers have more control over the retention of their staff than they think. Taking charge requires addressing…
