EMPLOYMENT LAW CHANGES

Published 25 March 2020

Whilst the COVID-19 disruption continues we will still be making you aware of what’s in store when normality resumes. 

These are the upcoming Employment Law Changes which will take effect from April 2020:

Statutory Payments and Hourly Rate increases:

Student Loan Thresholds:​

Changes to Employment Allowance 2020/21

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PAYROLL YOU MUST INFORM US IF YOU RECEIVE ANY STATE AID

From 6 April 2020 eligibility rules for claiming the Employment Allowance (EA) will change.

Current guidance on how EA works will be updated in April 2020.

From April 2020 you'll need to make extra checks to find out if you're eligible to claim EA. This includes checking de minimis state aid.

You’ll continue to claim EA through your Employer Payment Summary (EPS), but claims will not renew and you’ll need to make a new claim for EA each year.

You should let your payroll administrator know whether you’re eligible or not.

Other important changes from April 2020:

NI - lower earnings limit threshold to rise from £8,632.00 to £9,500.00 per year. This means that anyone who pays NI will make an annual saving of £104.00.

Income Tax Personal Allowance for 2020/21 remains the same at £12,500.00.
