From 1 April, the rates for the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage increased, alongside wider cross-government measures aimed at supporting working people and addressing pressures on the cost of living.
Details on the new rates are available on gov.uk: National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage rates. Advice for employers and employees can be found at: Check Your Pay.
The Make Work Pay plan is a government initiative on labour market reform and aims to tackle low pay, poor working conditions and poor job security. The plan is designed to help more people to stay in work, support workers’ productivity and improve living standards.
There are currently two open consultations, if you would like the BVRLA to submit a response, contact [email protected].
Last week (6 April) also saw new measures from the Employment Rights Act take effect.
There are Government resources to help employers and workers:
- New employment rights: Guidance for businesses and workers
- APRIL: Getting employers ready for employment rights changes.
There is still time to register for the WorkNest webinar: Employment Rights Act webinar to address key employer questions. WorkNest is the BVRLA’s HR and Health and Safety support partner and this page also includes information on how members can access the WorkNest portal.
