Did you know….
The Government is currently running a consultation on employment status as part of the Government’s response to the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/employment-status). The consultation is open until 1st June.
This is a joint consultation authored by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), HM Treasury (HMT), and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and considers employment status for both rights and tax. Employment status determines the rights an individual is entitled to and the level of tax that they are required to pay. The Taylor Review concluded that the current framework does not provide the level of clarity and certainty that individuals and businesses need – particularly regarding those working in non-standard forms of employment or as part of the emerging gig economy.
Government wants to ensure that as part of the consultation we engage and seek views with a wide range of stakeholders, and as such would like to invite you to attend an event on Monday 21st May 2018, 11.00am until 1.30pm, at The King’s Centre, 63-75 King St, Norwich, NR1 1PH, to discuss and share your views and experience on status, in relation to questions being asked in the current consultation. This will be in an open and non-judgemental forum.
Government has stated that its overarching aim is to ensure everyone knows what rights they have, as well as make it clearer for employers what their responsibilities are.
Please come prepared to discuss:
• The current framework for rights status – ’employee, worker, and self-employed’ and the framework for tax status- ’employee and self-employed’
• The relevance of the key factors that determine whether an individual is an employee, worker, or self-employed (for rights and tax purposes);
• The potential impact of codifying the tests the courts use to determine status (i.e. setting into legislation the case law that has emerged from tribunal cases), including what level of codification could be appropriate
• The potential merits of developing alternative, more precise or objective tests for determining status.
• Whether the status frameworks for tax and rights could be and should be better aligned.

North Sea Marine Cluster is a collaborative organisation working together to deliver projects that better utilise the cluster’s shared resources and to promote the marine sector in Norfolk and Suffolk. The Cluster consists of Norfolk Chamber members Norfolk County Council, Gardline Group, University of East Anglia and Marsh UK
In order to promote the strength of the entire marine sector in the region, on 6th Nov NSMC will launch a pamphlet “Realising the Potential- East Anglia’s Marine Economy” at a breakfast hosted by Hethel Engineering Centre.
East Anglia’s Blue Economy- Realising the potential.
NSMC are proud to launch the pamphlet “Realising the potential: East Anglia’s Blue Economy” to show the scale and importance of local offshore activity and the urgent need to steer East Anglia on a path to deliver on this huge potential.
The launch event, sponsored by Hethel Engineering Centre, is a first chance to identify and discuss the challenges and objectives in the blue economy locally.
Delegates will:
– Have the opportunity to hear senior speakers from local business, skills and education, and national government talk about current trends and real solutions.
– Gain new insight on the activities happening now to develop East Anglia’s marine sector.
