Minimum wages - how confident are you with your processes?
28 February 2018
From April 2019 employers will be required to include on payslips the number of hours worked by the employee for which they are being paid, but only in situations where the employee’s pay varies as a consequence of the time worked.
The Employment Rights Act (1996) is being amended to add to the list of particulars which must be included in the itemised pay statement, which an employee has a right to be given.
A consultation is also currently running in response to the Taylor review on measures to increase transparency in the UK labour market. The review recommended, ‘a payslip for all workers’ and the government has accepted this and how best to implement this change, is being explored through this consultation.
