Employers Life
From April 2026, the Employment Rights Act will change pay, sick pay and family-friendly rights for yard teams. Understanding the National Minimum Wage (NMW), is essential to ensure fair pay and compliance with employment legislation. Apprenticeships offer a solution that works for both yards and the next generation of equestrian professionals. The equestrian industry relies heavily upon self-employment but determining genuine self-employment is not always straightforward. Cheryl Johns from LiveryList and the Yard Owner Hub shares her smart planning tips for your yard in the year ahead.
