SaBRE We’re all stronger with Reservists HERE TO HELP SaBRE, Supporting Britain’s Reservists and Employers is the organisation set up by the Ministry of Defence to help employers understand the role of Reservists and the contribution they make to civilian businesses – and to help the Reserve Forces understand employers’ concerns. If someone in your organisation goes forward for deployment SaBRE will be your point of contact for information and support. Here in the North West Steve Wotherspoon is SaBRE’s Campaign Director, providing a vital link between employers and Reservists via personal contact and a programme of briefing events. His ambition is always to minimise any inconvenience to employers. No two businesses are alike so the personal touch is all important, whether that is established by phone, at one of our briefings or face to face. You can contact SaBRE North West on 0151 727 4552 or ring the (free) national helpline on 0800 389 5459. A wide range of SaBRE publications is available to Reservists and their employers or visit www.SaBRE. mod.uk to find out more. As soon as you are aware of an impending mobilisation you should inform your employer. Your employer should also receive an information pack, which sets out the date and possible duration of your mobilisation as well as their statutory rights and obligations and how to apply for financial assistance. Both Reservist and employer have the right to apply for exemption or deferral of mobilisation under certain exceptional circumstances. If your civilian salary is greater than your military one, you will be able to claim the difference. You can also claim for the loss of any benefits such as a company car or private health insurance. Misunderstandings can and do happen when Reservists have not Mr Steve Wotherspoon RSCD presents the Federation for Small Business (FSB) Past Chairman Mr Cuthbert Culshaw for Lancashire and Cumbria FSB with their Supportive Employer Certificate at a recent FSB Conference held at Liverpool’s Echo Arena. GREAT BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEE maintained an open and clear line of communication with their employers. Employers often say they find that their Reservist employees have grown in terms of leadership, planning and training, others and that these skills can be put to good use on return. They have also commented on the resilience, stress and technical management skills their Reservist employees have gained. So take time out to talk to your employer before returning to work and ensure your employer understands and values your new skills, they can be of great benefit in the workplace. Your employer can apply for financial costs towards the cost of any retraining you might need and so it is vital both parties are open with one another.
