How AWR is Affecting Contract Workers at 12 Weeks

January 23rd, 2012 No Comments

Since the advent of umbrella companies in the UK, contract workers have found that they are able to place many of their bookkeeping worries in the hands of their umbrella which frees them up to focus on their jobs. Traditionally, this has been in terms of pay and taxes to be reported. However, as of October 2011 there have been changes to the AWR guidance and now contract workers are relying more heavily than ever on their umbrella companies to help them understand these statutory changes.

A contractor umbrella company does act as an employer and paymaster, but they do so much more if the right umbrella company is chosen. There are a good number of umbrella companies that don’t provide ongoing information to their workers but Pulse Umbrella stands out from the crowd in a number of ways. One of the most important difference is in their compliance with Agency Workers Regulation and in their ability and willingness to help workers understand these changes.

Because the AWR changes don’t take place until a worker reaches that 12 week line of demarcation, many contract workers are fearful that they will lose their positions because employers are being forced by law to treat them equally with the full time workforce. In many cases this is simply just not true and a good umbrella company such as pulseumbrella.com will help their workers avoid unnecessary worries.

Yes, it is true that an employer can terminate the contract at 12 weeks but many find that it is in their best interest to keep these workers on. Can you imagine how much time, effort and money goes into training new workers every 3 months? Employers are not reluctant to give equal pay and many of the same equal benefits to contract workers because it is truly in their best interest to keep them on. If you are still fearful of how this new AWR guidance will affect you in your contracted position, contact the team at Pulse Umbrella so that you can better understand how these changes apply to you.

What Happens When My Car Fails MOT under Warranty?

January 13th, 2012 No Comments

Many vehicle owners who have purchased cover such as a Honda Warranty want to know what happens if their car fails MOT testing. This isn’t always an easy question to answer for several reasons. The first issue is in finding the right warranty company. Some companies simply don’t like to pay out on claims and that’s a fact. On the other hand, Warrantywise does everything in their power to make sure that their customers have the best possible warranty for their vehicle, in the condition it is in when being covered.

Say for example, a customer of Warrantywise has a Lexus Warranty and it fails the exhaust and emissions portion of the MOT test. If the vehicle had previously passed and was certified at the time of being warranted, then there is a possibility that the failure may be serviced as well as the fee being paid for re-testing. However, there are some problems which are only covered if an optional MOT warranty is purchased along with the Warrantywise warranty.

Actually, you are immediately protected against parts that fail due to premature wear and tear so if a used vehicle that is only a few years old and under warranty fails MOT due to those defects, it probably would be covered. Therefore, a Mazda Warranty that was issued by Warrantywise would be quite specific as to what can be covered. If the part that failed was found to be in working order and eligible for warranty, then it would be covered.

Even so, it is always in your best interest to spend the extra bit of money to get the MOT warranty on any vehicle to avoid paying the high costs of repairs if a vehicle fails testing. With this particular cover worn parts will be covered if it fails inspection due to those parts. Of course, as mentioned, it is an extra outlay of cash, but well worth the cost because of the extra protection it offers. You can’t drive a vehicle that fails MOT and this is one way to ensure that it passes, at least on retesting.
