As a return to pre-pandemic business edges closer, there are a number of questions a business may need the answers to regarding staffing in preparation.
Employers have a general obligation to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of their employees at work, as far as it is reasonably practicable. If keeping up to date with the complex legal issues your business faces is leaving you perplexed, then British Marine members may wish to use the excellent membership benefit of Business Care.
