On the positive side of this undoubtedly bad news he will urge ministers to make structural reforms, rather than “salami slicing” the police to save money. The home secretary will be telling forces such as the Police that they will no longer have to meet a set of minimum standards created by Labour. This seems a strange decision in my eyes, and yet more unhappy people as a result of the new government.

The prime minister and Nick Clegg said that they wanted to start by limiting the pensions of those on the highest salaries. It is believed that these could be worth £60,000-£70,000 a year.

This news will come as even more bad news for many people who have been saving their pensions for many years, and those who have pension benefits in the public sector.

It is believed that The National Housing Federation said the housing budget could be cut by up to 32% over four years. This is bad news for constructuion jobs in general and the news will not be greeted with open arms.

The damage of this could lead to 200,000 construction jobs being lost or not created, and 350,000 people being added to housing waiting lists in England, it said. All of this depends on the government however who are set to announce cuts in the Budget on Tuesday.

Dearlove knew which symptoms to report so that he could be classed as highly infectious in order to get his own room. Hospitals all over the UK were targeted in a deception which is thought to have begun 15 years ago.

Each time he was admitted to hospital, it the NHS between £400 and £1,000 and anti fraud experts say the fraud has cost the NHS tens of thousands of pounds overall.

The Economic Crime Agency will be formed from elements of the Serious Fraud Office, Financial Services Authority and the Office of Fair Trading and will have a remit to persue those who are guilty of so called ‘white-collar crimes’.

While this is a good move in order to ensure those in positions of responsibility in the economy are kept from abusing their powers, it remains to be seen how exactly this new agency will differ from the old setup in terms of regulatory powers and ability to prosecute those accused of wrongdoing.

The court case which BA brought against the union revolves around whether or not strike action is legal. BA affirm that it isn’t while UNITE claim that any attempt to block the strikes would cause the whole ‘right to strike’ system to founder and fail. Ultimately, with both sides playing hard ball, it was always going to come down to a technicality – and what a technicality!

BA have won the case on the grounds that the members of UNITE who were balloted were not informed of ’spoiled ballots’ as is supposed to happen. This rule has negated the legality of the ballot and therefore the strikes can not go ahead based on its outcome.

But the best bit? The total number of spoiled ballots was 11. Yup, 11 spoiled ballots in amongst tens of thousands valid ones.

Well, research is now showing how teachers can have to work more than 400 hours extra per year without pay, just to get their job done. Reasons for this range from too much paperwork to classes with too many students, but the end result is the same: a lot of teachers who feel they are being taken advantage of.

While this is nothing new, hopefully more surveys of the industry will show that change must come about – after all, what good is a teacher who is too exhausted to teach?

Things such as salary, previous credit agreements and so on all have an effect, but one other factor which seems to pop up more and more is the type of work you’re involved with. For those in more clerically-oriented jobs it can be quite hard to categorise what they do – are they ‘professional’?

There are lots of definitions which conflict with each other, but the basic understanding is if you need specialist training or education to do what you do, then you’re a professional. How you categorise yourself can give a little boost when applying for finance, so make your mind up! Are you a professional?

Women who find themselves in high positions within companies are usually occupying roles more commonly filled by men, causing increased gender conflict and in some cases greater workplace discrimination. When interviewed, many of these women expressed unhappiness in their jobs and felt that they had to over-compensate by taking more responsibilities in both their private and working lives in order to be valued or recognised as much as their peers.

While these reasons all seem pretty straightforward, a concrete link is now being formed between working environment and stress related burnout. The study concludes that keeping an eye on employee exhaustion earlier would help in ensuring burnout does not become an issue.

Apparently some £30 billion worth of financial services related crime is committed each year, with everyone losing out from taxpayers to pension savers. Even though there are multiple agencies in existence to combat and prosecute against this crime the Tories claim that they are not doing their job well enough. Their plan involves scrapping most of these agencies and regulatory bodies to be replaced with a single entity, responsible for ensuring economic crime is prevented and appropriately punished when it does happen.
