The IER's new website design

We're in the process of improving the usability of our website so you can find what you need, when you need it.

As part of the new design, both the  <http://www.ier.org.uk/resources/consultation-calendar> consultation calendar and  <http://www.ier.org.uk/events/institute-events> events calendar have been made more easy to navigate directly on the page.

There are also three tabs to the left of the website that allow you to open out both calendars regardless of which page you are on. The same will soon be true for our publications, which will become easily browsable, searchable and accessible from anywhere on the site - but at the moment our publications feature is a work in progress! Look out for it in the coming weeks.

New Consultations

Newly launched employment law consultations include:

·         Local government pension scheme 2014: draft regulations on membership, contributions and benefits (closing 08/02/13)
