Today - we have the newly released Liberal Democrat manifesto pledges and the key parts that will affect employment law and payroll changes 🎗 : 🎗 Modernise Employment Rights - Lib Deb are proposing to modernise employment rights so that they are fit for the age of the "gig" economy. As part of this plan, they want to implement a 20% higher minimum wage for people on zero hour contracts, workers to have a right to request fixed hours after 12 months on a zero hours contract, reviewing tax and national insurance status' of employees, dependant employees and freelancers to ensure fair and comparable treatment and finally to establish a new dependant contractor which sits in between an employee and a self employed worker 🎗 Worker protection enforcement authority - Establishing a robust new Worker Protection Enforcement Authority would consolidate the duties currently dispersed among three agencies. This unified entity would be responsible for enforcing the minimum wage, combatting modern slavery, and safeguarding agency workers 🎗 Genuine Living Wage - Create an independent review to suggest a bona fide living wage applicable across all sectors. Government departments and all other public sector employers would spearhead the effort by adopting and paying this recommended wage 🎗 Fixing SSP - Achieved by making it available to the more than 1 million workers who earn less than £123 a week, whilst at the same time aligning it with National Minimum Wage and making payments available from day 1 rather than day 4 Another set of interesting policy changes and whilst there is no stage in period estimated, could make a dramatic change to both recruitment and payroll sectors.

Outsourced HR service helping SME businesses have peace of mind against current & future HR issues. Providing specialist employment law guidance and practical people advice for over 25 years.
The polls were right. Labour has a landslide victory, which means a busy, largely unwelcome to-do list for SME employers. Labour’s intentions are no secret, their manifesto told us what was in store, much of it promised within the first 100 days of power. That gives them until October at the latest to deliver, although enacted legislation may take longer to come into force. From national minimum wage rises to more power for the unions, far greater tribunal rights to statutory sick pay from day one, we have all the policy detail covered for you. To know what areas you need to be addressing as an SME, check out our latest blog 👇🏼 #HRSupportLeeds #GeneralElection2024
What now? Five things that should be on every SME employer’s to-do list now that Labour have power

It is that time of year, April - end of the financial year for many and also when the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage increase. What employers need to be aware of: 🎂 The threshold has increased - from 1 April this year, anyone over the age of 21 (instead of 23) will need to be paid this increased rate. 💹 It's the largest increase ever - for someone aged 23 the increase from last year is £1.02 and for those aged 21, it represents an increase of £1.26. 💶 If you don't comply - you could be issued with a fine of up to £20,000 and be publicly named and shamed.

Labour plans employment bill to extend worker rights An election pledge from Labour was to ‘make work pay’ by giving employees’ day-one rights which has had mixed reactions from business leaders This marked a ground-breaking initiative for the government as Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner engaged with labour unions and key industry bodies, such as the CBI and Federation of Small Business, to deliberate on the bold Make Work Pay strategies. Rayner's promises will begin with prohibiting zero-hours agreements, which, although they can be taken advantage of, can also benefit both workers and companies. A study by Indeed Flex indicates that 54% of HR leaders in the UK are backing this decision. The lowest wage will be adjusted to a real living wage, established by the Low Pay Commission, to accurately reflect the actual expenses of daily living and mirror the living expenses. Moreover, age categories will be removed, ensuring that all individuals receive equal access to the same minimum wage, although no specific date has been set for its implementation. #Labour #NationalLivingWage #Minimumwage #AngelaRayner #WorkerRights #ZeroHours
