Red Tape Burden Costing Business £12bn a Year

Dated: November 19, 2009 11:44 AM
Placing a figure on how much red tape actually costs businesses really brings home the size of the burden. Research by the Forum of Private Business reveals that complying with regulation costs small businesses in the UK a staggering £12bn a year and that business owners/managers devote an average 37 hours per month to keeping up-to-date with paperwork relating to legislation - when does anyone in this industry find time to cut hair?
In light of the ever-growing legislative mountain, the FPB is calling for a freeze in new business legislation to allow the government to re-asses the situation and properly explore just how much red tape is being passed on to the already beleaguered business sector.
With the pre-budget report scheduled for 9 December, the FPB is lobbying government to ease regulation on small businesses, but first it needs to conduct a thorough review, says the organisation.
Said The FPB's policy representative, Matt Goodman pre-election would be the perfect time to launch the first comprehensive regulatory review. "The government must ensure that regulations are proportionate to their aim," said Goodman. "We want departments to get to grips with all the various aspects of the regulatory burden on business and a comprehensive regulatory review would provide just that sort of understanding."
Beleaguered by Bureaucracy
The National Hairdressers' Federation secretary general, Eileen Lawson supports any move to reduce the red tape burden.
Said Eileen: "We know about the unacceptable burden of bureaucracy based on what our
members say and experience primarily with regard to employment law but also health and safety and wages legislation. We know this from the number of calls our members have made to both us and our Legal Lifeline asking for help. We deal with more than 50,000 calls a year on these subjects.
"The NMW, which I discussed with the Scottish Affairs Select Committee this summer, is an example of how complexity means it is easy for people to inadvertently get it wrong. We want all statutes written in such as way that it is easy for employers to get right. This is what I have always promoted to the Low Pay Commission when it has been considering the NMW regulations and, in particular, how these are applied to apprenticeships.
"The majority of employment law is written as if everybody has professionals and layers of management at their disposal to handle the multiple levels of procedure and appeal. This does not exist in micro and small businesses."

The essence of Punk Rock was intensified by the presence, and sound, of up-and-coming band, FANGS who played live as the models strutted up and down the catwalk.

Confusion Leads to Flouting of the National Minimum Wage
Posted by
Matthew
Dated: October 29, 2009 2:11 PM
Is red tape really such a problem that salon owners get into such a state of confusion, they accidentally pay employees the wrong wage, ask HJ News Editor Matthew Batham?
According to the National Hairdressers' Federation, over-complexity of legislation surrounding the national minimum wage was likely to be the reason behind any salons underpaying - not flagrant breach of the law.
The National Hairdressers' Federation has warned the UK government to exercise "great care" when deciding whether to implement a Scottish Affairs Committee recommendation to name and shame firms that breach national minimum wage (NMW) legislation north of the border. The Scottish Affairs Committee has recommended the government expose employers even where non-compliance has been averted.
Eileen Lawson, NHF secretary general, said a hairdressing salon was only as good as its reputation, so any decision on naming and shaming a business where non-compliance resulted from accidental breach would be hugely damaging. "Accidental breach is what it says on the tin, and the emphasis should be on education not punishment," she said.
Lawson said the NHF was unaware of any of its own members incurring a penalty for non-compliance although several had difficulty interpreting the law and had asked for advice.
Scrap Business Rates
The NMW isn't the only legislation under scrutiny. One salon owner, so disgruntled at the size of the business rates bill for her new Suffolk business has started a petition. Paula Mason, of Lawrence Paul Salons is asking the government to make new businesses exempt from business rates for the first 12 months of trading.
You can register your support at the number 10 Downing Street website - and start your own petition against whatever red tape is getting your goat.
Bright Side to Business
Looking on the bright side, despite the red tape burden - and the recession - an increasing number of small businesses are optimistic about the future. Three quarters of small businesses believe the economy will see an upturn in 2010, according to research from BT Business, with 35% predicting an improvement by January 2010.
