Helping you understand your legal rights and responsibilities

There is a wide range of employment law and other legislation that may affect interim managers and organisations that use their services. This guide from Alium is designed to help you understand those laws and, crucially, how to abide by them.

Legislation relating to employment business and the taxation of income deriving from these activities is becoming ever more complex, driven both by UK and EU law, and both interim managers and those engaging their services need to be aware of the key laws that can impact on interim assignments.

Broadly, these laws seek to protect individuals, ensure fair competition and regulate business practice. In each case, the most important step is to make sure you know what laws apply to you, and if you are in any doubt, seek professional advice.
