IR35 Pre-Conference Webinar: Changes and Compliance
IR35 Changes and Compliance: Navigating the New Rules with Confidence
Time: 11:00 - 11:30 | FREE
When: Thursday, 23rd January 2025
The recent IR35 changes are reshaping the contractor landscape, and compliance is no longer optionalโitโs critical. Failure to understand and implement these regulations can result in significant financial penalties and damage to your reputation.
Stay ahead of the curve, protect your business, and ensure you're fully compliant. Now is the time to take control of your IR35 strategy and safeguard your workforce.
We'll cover recent changes to laws around unfair dismissal, redundancy pay, and Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), as well as shifts in self-employed workers' rights and how to prepare for them. Attendees will gain insights on avoiding fines and potential liabilities, identifying key risks, and understanding how to mitigate them. Weโll also explore the latest case studies to clarify the resolution process and discuss the implications for international workers, helping your organisation remain compliant in even the most challenging jurisdictions.
