Orca Pods podcast

In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

The Labour Government’s budget has landed. So, what does this mean for the umbrella industry? Put simply the implications are huge. To discuss the impacts being faced by umbrella companies, and the labour market I am privileged to be joined by Thomas Wallace, the Director of WTT. Tom is an expert in the field of tax, having spent years with HMRC he now advises Parliamentary groups and writes for the Financial Times and The Telegraph on the subject. So, there’s no one better to discuss the budget’s changes to national insurance, the challenges faced by businesses in adapting to these changes, the potential for redundancies, and the moral responsibilities within the recruitment industry. We delve deep into the legal implications of non-compliance and the shifting responsibilities for umbrella companies and recruitment agencies. This is a no holds barred, honest assessment of the budget, it’s strengths and shortfalls, as well as where the future of the industry lies. Now more than ever is the time to come together, so listen carefully to what Tom has to say. “I think the industry should consider itself on notice”– Tom Wallace You'll hear about: 00:00 – The Umbrella industry is on notice 00:38 - An introduction to Tom Wallace 01:41 - The employers N.I. element of the budget 06:25 - Redundancies because of the budget 12:09 - The problem with assignment rate & pay rate 17:28 - Tax avoidance or tax evasion 23:27 - Key outtakes from the budget for businesses 27:49 - The shock of umbrella companies in the budget 34:18 - The biggest challenge from the budget 40:27 - The importance of coming together & educating 47:40 - How to get supply chains educated 54:38 - Timescales for umbrella companies to straighten up 01:02:28 - There are no easy answers to this Connect with Thomas Wallace: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-wallace-tax/ WTT Consulting - https://wttgroup.co.uk/ My resources: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-sharp-a9530142/ Orca Pay Group - https://orcapaygroup.co.uk/…

He also emphasises the importance of transparency and informing individuals about how their data is being processed.
