Just a quick reminder about these important dates from April:- 

​

  • 1 April - National Minimum Wage: Annual increases in force. National Living Wage increases from £9.50 to £10.42. 

  • 2 April - Statutory pay rates: Statutory maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave pay rates increase from £156.66 to £172.48. 

  • 6 April - Statutory pay rates: Statutory Sick Pay increases from £99.35 to £109.40. 

  • 6 April - Employment Tribunal awards: Annual increase expected. 

  • 8 May - Extra Bank Holiday 

 

The last one -8th May – represents an extra Bank Holiday to mark the coronation of King Charles III.As with other bank holidays, there is no statutory entitlement to time off, but employers may include bank holidays as part of a worker's leave entitlement. Whether employees who work on this bank holiday are entitled to additional pay for the day, or to reclaim the leave, is a matter for discussion between employees and employers. Employers may wish to consider that schools will be closed, so many parents will have to make alternative childcare arrangements to work on the day.
