Employment Law in Practice from Recruitment to Termination
Raise your knowledge of the latest employment law and legislation and learn how to deal practically with the numerous issues an employer regularly faces.
Latest update from our expert speaker
Employment law is an ever-changing beast. Here is a reminder of just four of the changes that happened in April 2019. Are you up to speed?
1. The deadline for private-sector and voluntary-sector employers to publish their second gender pay gap report was 4 April 2019, while public-sector employers must publish their second gender pay gap report no later than 30 March 2019.
2. Changes to payslips came into law. Firstly, payslips must include additional information for individuals whose pay varies depending on the number of hours that they have worked. Where an individual’s pay varies by reference to time worked, the payslip must set out the number of hours paid for on this variable basis. Secondly, the right to a payslip is extended to all workers, rather than just employees, for pay periods that begin on or after 6 April 2019.
3. From 6 April 2019, the minimum level of employer contribution into a pensions auto-enrolment scheme increased from 2% to 3%, with an increase to the employee contribution from 3% to 5%. The total minimum contribution therefore increases from 5% to 8%.
4. The national living wage for workers aged 25 and over increased to £8.21 per hour on 1 April 2019. Other national minimum wage rates also increased, with hourly rates rising to £7.70 for workers aged 21 to 24, to £6.15 for workers aged 18 to 20 and to £4.20 for workers under 18 who are no longer of compulsory school age. In addition the weekly rate of statutory maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental pay increased to £148.68 for pay weeks commencing on or after 7 April 2019.
