FORTY employers and HR professionals attended an Employment Law seminar held by Pure and Birkett Long.

The event was held at the Holiday Inn in Brentwood on Wednesday 10 May.

It was hosted by Ben Farrow, Associate Director at professional recruitment specialists Pure, alongside Martin Hopkins, employment law partner at law firm Birkett Long.

The event focussed on updates to the minimum wage and an overview of gender pay gap reporting, to coincide with legislation coming into force for employers with 250 or more employees.

Ben Farrow, Associate Director at Pure’s Chelmsford office said: “We hold seminars like this because we are committed to supporting the continued professional development of people in the eastern region.

"It makes a difference to people’s day-to-day lives and to their long-term career progression.

"It also helps to contribute to the growth of our regional economy. This same ethos is shared by Birkett Long and we’re proud to have been working with the firm to deliver these employment law seminars for several years now.”
