NFPN members have direct access to our Employer Assist service with reduced rates, fact sheets, and diagnotic tools to help them comply and avoid the pitfalls of the new rules.  If you have a HR or IR question then simply contact one of our team.

We are also running an Unfair Dismissal and IR Update seminar in November - details here.

Our friends over at Pineapple Media have put together this half price offer for use of a TV studio.

Thanks to Richard for putting this together for our website visitors. You can also check out their non-profit media showcase here.
