In April this year employers will see the cost of employing people rise quite steeply.
The national minimum wage, whilst most welcome to those receiving the increase, goes up to £12.21 for over 21’s.
Paying people fairly for the work they do is only right and proper.
National Insurance Contributions (NIC) increase too which is painted by many observers as a tax on jobs.
The increases are unavoidable and leave employers with a limited amount of time to mitigate the impact.
Already retailers are talking about cutting employee numbers, closing retail stores, not opening planned stores, off shoring tasks, automating processes, reducing graduate scheme places, re-organisations and redundancies.
It’s a gloomy picture.
