Not sure if firms should encourage or force staff to have vaccine, but common sense should prevail that its the only way we will ever get back to some sort of normal life.

I will be getting mine as soon as I am able to.

Should firms encourage staff to receive the Covid vaccine?

This year has been brutal for all, and everyone has been a hero by keeping going, supporting clients and each other through it.

We are like the NHS for small business.

Good too see everyone last night and well done to the winners.

Must admit when I found out we were going to be in tier 3 with no pubs open for December, I used about 50% of my swear allowance in 3 or 4 sentences. [***].

For me the scheme is a non starter and I would love to know who come up with the number of 5m people who will benefit from it.

The cold reality is that businesses working at reduced capacity will have brought their best staff back to work the ones still on furlough have effectively lost their jobs, they just don't know it yet. If the employer only has 10 hours work for someone on a full time contract they will just amend the contracted hours to 10 hours as will not pay out of their own pocket. Staff will have little choice other than to accept as it will that or the highway.

If Rishi thinks businesses on the brink are going to carry staff he had got it wrong. After a solid start things are going down hill fast.

For corporate clients the system looks good end to end and from what I hear from those who use it is decent.

I am governed by the annual renewal of my current practice suite which renews in September each year, I dont want to do Ltd co accounts on one system then a separate one for SA returns so hopefully the SA side will be ready when I have to consider my next renewal.

I guess the cloud PM bolt ons like Senta, Pixie, Accountancy Manager etc are more likely to have some sort of API with Xero than they are with Taxcalc or Iris

Hi DJKL,

Yes I have a fairly diverse or decent cross section of clients and so far no one is feeling any pain. Most furloughed staff, grants covered overheads when closed and all just geared up ready to go again. Whilst the Directors have had to live on their wits most have handled things very well.

The higher profile collapse of some of the big restaurant chains that were in trouble prior to lockdown has actually removed the over supply and my indy clients have picked up really well so touch wood we are ok this far.

Without the furlough scheme I would have no clients left though.
