There'll never be another George Best, Bob Bishop was spot on when he called him a genius. His talent lit up the pitch in a way that still feels like yesterday

Our CEO @peter__done says “I’ve been a @ManUtd fan since I was 11, #GeorgeBest was my idol. I’ve seen all the great teams, the legendary players, and there'll never be another. We only remember the football. 20 years may have passed but Georgie will never be forgotten.”

After another debate, employers are still in the dark about how new unfair dismissal rights in the #EmploymentRightsBill will work. The Bill will now head back to the House of Lords – will there finally be an answer?

Research by the Institute for Public Policy Research suggests a third of UK workers have called in sick because of a hangover. Do you know what you can and can’t do when you suspect a sickness isn’t genuine?

From cyber-attacks to the weather, there are many reasons an employee’s travel might be disrupted, impacting their attendance.

It’s important to have policies and process in place so when this happens, employees know what support, if any, is available.
