Tax breaks for work health schemes welcomed

Posted in: Employer NegligenceWorkplace Injuries

There is no pushing you to do anything you don’t want to do, they are always simply sympathetic with your plight. I didn’t think I’d stood a chance but they came through for me for which I am very grateful. Believe you me they are first class.
