The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has proposed a new rule aimed at simplifying the process for firing federal employees for misconduct. The initiative, part of President Donald Trump's broader effort to reform the civil service, would allow OPM to direct agencies to terminate employees for serious offenses such as tax evasion and leaking sensitive information. OPM said: "Illogically, the government has far greater ability to bar someone from federal employment who has committed a serious crime or misconduct in the past than it does to remove someone who engages in the exact same behavior as a federal employee."

The misuse of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in the music industry to silence victims of harassment and abuse is a significant issue, according to a report from the Women and Equalities Committee. The report highlights that women in the sector face rampant misogyny, discrimination, and harassment, with many self-employed practitioners particularly vulnerable. The report also advocates for the establishment of the Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority to improve standards and protect victims. Additionally, it calls for amendments to the Equality Act and Employment Rights Bill to enhance protections for women and gender non-conforming individuals in the industry.

The recent pause on visa interviews for international teachers, particularly those on J-1 cultural exchange visas, has raised concerns among school districts facing educator shortages. Many districts rely on international educators to fill critical gaps in STEM and special education. In 2023, there were nearly 6,800 J-1 teachers nationwide, according to a recent analysis of State Department data by AFL-CIO’s Department for Professional Employees, with the highest concentration being in North Carolina, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Arizona, and California. The School Superintendents Association has expressed hope that the pause will soon be lifted, allowing districts to resume hiring. However, the uncertainty surrounding immigration policies has created anxiety among international teachers, with advocates fearing it may deter potential applicants.

New data from the IRS shows that, with an audit rate of 0.8%, people making over $500,000 on their latest tax return were more than twice as likely to be audited compared with the same point in the audit cycle in previous years. At the same time, the matching audit rate for taxpayers making under $500,000 declined slightly. The figures covered 2022 tax returns that were filed in 2023 and audited during the 2024 fiscal year, which ended September 30th. On Wednesday Daniel Werfel, IRS commissioner during the second half of President Joe Biden's spell in the Oval Office, said he had changed the agency’s mandate so that it could “ramp up” audits on certain types of returns, while keeping audit rates steady for most individuals. On average, audits of individuals with high incomes return substantially more money to the government, so proponents have argued they are the most effective way for the tax agency to collect more revenue. It is unclear as to how the audit rate will look in the future, due to the number of cuts introduced under President Donald Trump. “I think we’re heading into an unprecedented set of circumstances,” Mr. Werfel said. “I don’t know how it plays out as a result.”

The UK Government has confirmed it will not amend drug laws to permit more safe consumption rooms, even if Glasgow's Thistle Centre pilot proves successful. The facility, which opened amid tensions between the UK and Scottish governments, allows drug users to inject safely without fear of prosecution, following a ruling that prosecutions would not be in the public interest. However, Home Office minister Dame Diana Johnson told the Scottish Affairs Committee that the Government does not support such facilities and will not change the Misuse of Drugs Act. The stance drew criticism from MPs, with Liberal Democrat Angus MacDonald accusing the Government of "condemning thousands of people to death." Dame Johnson defended the position, emphasising alternative measures to tackle drug misuse and insisting ministers must represent government policy over personal views.

Walmart is terminating some jobs in Florida following recent Supreme Court rulings about the legal residency of migrants, the latest sign that such orders are hitting U.S. workplaces. The terminations, the exact number of which is unclear, are connected to I-9 forms that U.S. employers use to check the identity and employment authorization of staff. Walmart is among U.S. companies responding to the Supreme Court rulings, which ended legal protections for as many as 500,000 people from countries including Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, who were allowed to legally enter the country during the Biden administration.

UK tax authority HMRC has confirmed that 100,000 taxpayers are being contacted following a breach that resulted in a loss of £47m. John-Paul Marks, the chief executive of HMRC, assured that those affected will suffer "no financial loss" and told the Treasury Committee that the incident was not a cyber attack but instead involved multiple phishing attacks "designed to extract money" from the tax office. Angela MacDonald, HMRC's deputy chief executive, said the agency has successfully protected £1.9bn from similar attacks in the past year. The affected accounts have been locked down after an attempt to fake PAYE claims, while incorrect information has been removed from tax records.

Google's Threat Intelligence Group has warned that a hacking group has been impersonating IT personnel to break into companies’ Salesforce tools, using the access for data theft and extortion. The hackers use voice calls to trick employees into visiting a purported Salesforce connected app setup page and unwittingly install a modified version of Salesforce's Data Loader tool. Technical infrastructure linked to the campaign shares characteristics with suspected ties to the loosely organized ecosystem known as “The Com,” known for small, disparate groups engaging in cybercriminal and sometimes violent activity. A Salesforce spokesperson said “there’s no indication the issue described stems from any vulnerability inherent in our platform.” The spokesperson said the voice calls used to trick employees “are targeted social engineering scams designed to exploit gaps in individual users’ cybersecurity awareness and best practices.”
