Reporting Accounts news from Friday 15th January 2021

Summary

In today’s podcast Adrian Lawrence talks about an interesting news story this week. Pimlico Plumbers have announced that they will only employee new starters who have had a Covid Vaccine, and existing employees and subcontractors can only continue to work for them if they agree to have the vaccine.

This raises a number of HR questions and points, someone with less than two years of service can be dismissed for more or less any reason, but an employee with more than two years service can object for example if they are pregnant or have valid medical reasons not to have a vaccine, or religious objections.

It will be interesting to see if more companies follow the lead of Pimlico Plumbers and maybe even we won’t be able to travel abroad without proof of having receipted a vaccine.

You can find more information on Pimlico Plumbers within the reportingaccounts database.

Web Entrepreneur, traveller, family guy. I've been developing, or at least attempting to develop websites for more than 20 years, I setup a domain registrar back in 2004, which I sold in 2016, I am better known for a very popular publishing site called Article Alley which grew to a membership of 550,000 at its peak I am rebuilding Article Alley at the moment and it will be a focus of mine again in 2019. During 2018 I have mosty worked on a site called Reporting Accounts, which has more than 4.1million business listings, these use information from the UK companies house and combines that together with 37 other sources to give hopefully a great single source for company information in the UK. It still needs work on it, but I am pleased with the progress so far. As you can see from the list on the other side of this page, I have a good number of websites, I had as many as 300 at one time when I worked full time as a web entrepreneur but at the moment I only work part time on all of this. At the moment I work as an Accountant by day, and a web entrepreneur by night ! I enjoy travel this last year I have been to Cuba and over Xmas I am going to Cape Verde, my next project will be a deal finder for holiday bargains, I am certain I woud use that myself so it would pay for itself in no time ! Anyway if you have time and are interested please feel free to browse away through some of my sites, most of them user the blogamatic template which I am kinda stuck on. I hope you enjoy.
