Dear Member, 

Welcome to this week's edition of our SFA e-zine.  

I am delighted to let you know that we have extended the application deadline for the SFA Awards until tomorrow, close of business.  Take the evening to get your application in to us.  This is a really excellent journey for any small business to undertake.

We have the third part of our Working Time woes series this week, we are looking at mobile workers and what constitutes travel time.

The SFA together with the Irish Tax Institute and the Institute of Directors have launched a new guide to help the over 245,000 small businesses across Ireland prepare for PAYE Modernisation.  Get all the details in our article below.  

The SFA is keen to hear from members on the Government’s recently published Consultation Paper on Automatic Enrolment.  Please make sure to send us your comments. 

Places at the SFA Annual Lunch are filling up fast and we want to make sure as many of our valued members as possible can attend so make sure you book your seat today.  

As always, we’d love to hear from you about any queries you may have, issues you wish to have raised with Government or other stakeholders and your ideas on how we can improve the business environment for us all. Please contact me on tel: 01 605 1602 or e-mail: sven@sfa.ie or tweet: @SFA_Irl or visit: www.sfa.ie.

Kind regards, 

Sven Spollen-Behrens

SFA Director
