April Newsletter

I help businesses prepare with business-as-usual employment law changes, such as increases in statutory maternity, paternity and sick pay. 

 

The new National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage rates come into effect on the 1st April. 

 

Employers should check their pay rates against the forthcoming minimum wage rates and ensure that, where necessary, they increase remuneration for the first pay reference period beginning on or after 1 April 2025. 

 

The rate of statutory maternity, adoption, paternity, shared parental and parental bereavement pay increases to £187.18, up from £184.03. The increase normally takes effect on the first Sunday in April, which in 2025 is 6 April. 

 

Employers need to make sure that staff on maternity, paternity, adoption, shared parental and parental bereavement leave, and staff on sick leave, are paid these statutory minimum rates. 

 

New limits on employment statutory redundancy pay come into force on 6 April 2025. 

 

I want to help businesses ensure they comply with legislation whilst supporting their workforce in an informative and interesting format.
