UK PayPerShop Newsletter {!firstname_fix},

Welcome to this week's UK Payroll Newsletter, featuring our weekly round-up of news items that reveal what is new in the UK for payroll and HR workers to read and consider with care.

This year's conference will be held at Heythrop Park Hotel & Country Club on 5-8 March. Ian himself will be presenting some of the conference sessions, together with some of the best-known speakers on current payroll and HR changes, including Reg Ruffle, Ken Gurr, Kate Upcraft and Christine Tebbutt.

You should not miss this conference. You will find full details here.
