Iain McMath: Why parents should sign up to childcare vouchers

-

As we enter a new year, it’s vital that as many parents and employers as possible are made aware of the fast-approaching changes to the tax treatment of childcare vouchers, due in April.

To demonstrate our commitment to spreading the word, we have set up a dedicated website, a Facebook group and have produced an informative podcast, available on iTunes. In this broadcast, Iain McMath, our managing director, explain the reason why parents should sign up to childcare vouchers before April 2011.

In effect, higher rate tax payers will lose out if they sign-up after 5th April 2011 as the tax exemptions will be the same base rate for all employees. April is fast approaching and employers should be making their staff aware of these changes, so feel free to forward the podcast to friends, colleagues and family. The clock is ticking!

Florence Parot: To burnout, or to not burnout, that is the question

I left you in my last article with the burning question (pun intended) of how to detect the signs of potential burnout. As I mentioned last time, once in burnout, it takes 12 months to recover enough to be able to get back to work so this is no idle question. If detected beforehand, it is not just the person’s life that could feel a lot different but the whole bottom line of the company that will be affected, especially if that person is key personnel.
