This checklist highlights the principal matters to review when a new individual joins a limited liability partnership (LLP), covering legal, regulatory and practical considerations. Identity of new member Full name and residential or registered address of the incoming member? Confirm the individual is not an undischarged bankrupt and is not prohibited from acting as an LLP member or as a company director. Check whether any current agreements or restrictive covenants (eg employment, LLP, joint venture, finance documents) could limit their ability to join or commit to the LLP. LLP agreement and other documentation What mechanism in the current LLP agreement governs the admission of new members? Will a deed of adherence/accession be required? Are any amendments needed to the terms of the existing LLP agreement? Do any related contracts require variation or consent, eg leases and IP licences?...

FORTHCOMING CHANGE : From 6 April 2020, the Employment Rights (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019, SI 2019/731, widen the entitlement to a written statement of employment particulars so that it applies to every category of ‘worker’, rather than just ‘employees’. Taking effect on the same date, the Employment Rights (Employment Particulars and Paid Annual Leave) (Amendment) Regulations 2018, SI 2018/1378, make this an entitlement from the outset of work (ie a day 1 right) and oblige inclusion of further particulars: the days of the week the individual is required to work (together with any variation to that), any terms and conditions relating to paid leave, particulars of any other benefits, details of any probationary period, and any training.

R (Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London) v SSHD [2024] EWHC 1374 (Admin) What are the practical implications of this case? The principal practical upshot is that individuals holding Leave to Remain (‘LTR’/‘leave’) covered by IA 1971, s 3C will be eligible to receive digital proof of their immigration status. Section 3C applies automatically by operation of statute. While IA 1971, s 3C is in force, all rights inherent in one’s prior LTR continue. Accordingly, when leave is prolonged, the attached conditions are prolonged too. Those conditions may include permission to work or to study. Advisers may encounter clients worried about demonstrating these entitlements once they have lodged an application to extend (‘vary’) their leave. Previously, in many instances this meant a third party—an employer or a landlord—had to make their own check with the Home Office to confirm whether the person could still work or rent property, which could create difficulties if the third party was unwilling to do so or if there were delays. Digital...

Children in care Children in care sit within a sub-category of the broader group of ‘looked after’ children. The parallel sub-category consists of children accommodated under most of the other social services functions operated by the local authority. A child is regarded as being in the care of a local authority when subject to a care order, and this extends to a child under an interim care order. In England, there are three sets of children who, although accommodated under social services functions in the Children Act 1989 (ChA 1989), are not classed as looked after. These are children accommodated under: the general duty on local authorities to provide services to children in need, their families and others under ChA 1989, s 17 the duties towards children who have left care, including pathway plans, under ChA 1989, s 23B the duties towards children who have left care, providing assistance with education, employment and training under ChA 1989, s 24B In Wales,...

Applications for leave to act as a director, and the possible conditions attached to leave Once a director has been disqualified under the CDDA 1986, they may ask the court for leave to act as a director of a specified company or companies. Whether leave is allowed lies wholly within the court’s discretion. The court will look to the Secretary of State (SoS) for guidance, yet the determination ultimately remains the court’s. The dominant consideration when deciding whether to grant leave is protecting the public, with an emphasis on preventing any future misconduct. The court must assess the level of risk posed to the public, and balance that against the necessity for the director to continue in office at a particular company or companies. In applying its discretion, the court weighs these matters carefully in the round, where appropriate and necessary. For a full discussion of the factors the court will consider when exercising that discretion, see Practice Note: Applications for leave to act as a director, under section...

FORTHCOMING CHANGE : Following the Budget 2025 announcement on 26 November 2025, the government is progressing legislation through the National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Bill to restrict the level of salary sacrifice pension contributions that qualify for National Insurance Contribution (NIC) relief to £2,000 per year. Any pension contributions above £2,000 made via salary sacrifice will, for NIC purposes, be treated in the same manner as other employee workplace pension payments; that is, primary and secondary Class 1 NIC charges will apply to those contributions. This reform is scheduled to take effect from 6 April 2029. The Bill leaves the detailed rules to be set out in regulations. For additional detail, see News Analysis: Bill to limit NIC relief passes Second Reading in Commons despite opposition and Practice Note: Salary sacrifice NIC relief to be capped at £2,000 from 6 April 2029, below. What is salary sacrifice? Salary sacrifice is an arrangement in which an employee gives up entitlement to a portion of their taxable pay...

1 Introduction 1.1 The entitlement to shared parental leave (SPL) enables eligible staff to decide how they split caring for a child in the first year following adoption. This entitlement is open to the child’s adopter and one additional person, who must be that adopter’s spouse, civil partner or partner. Either, or both, of these qualifying individuals may work for the Company. 1.2 This policy [ was developed in consultation with [ the trade union OR staff association OR employees ] and ] covers all employees. The provisions on shared parental pay (ShPP) (paragraphs 5 and 6, the relevant parts of paragraphs 8 and 9, and paragraph 14) also extend to some people who are not Company employees but are in ‘employed earner’s employment’ with the Company; broadly, this refers to those for whom class 1 National Insurance contributions (NICs) are paid [ (this would include most qualifying agency workers) ]. There are limited exceptions; if you are unsure whether you are included, please speak to [ the...

Instructions: please read all of this before filling in the form If you have not already provided a 'Notice of entitlement for shared parental leave and/or pay' to the Company, you must send that notice at the same time as this booking form in order to be eligible to take shared parental leave. If you are the adopter, or the expected adopter, of the child for whom shared parental leave is to be taken, you must provide the notice called 'Notice of entitlement for shared parental leave and/or pay: adopters'. If you are married to, the civil partner of, or the 'partner' of the adopter, you must instead provide the notice titled 'Notice of entitlement for shared parental leave and/or pay: adopters' partners'. Here, 'partner' means a person who lives with the adopter, and will live with the child, in an enduring family relationship, but is not the adopter's child, parent (including adoptive or former adoptive parents), grandchild, grandparent, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, aunt, uncle,...
