National living wageLiving WageWebinars

Preparing for the national living wage (webinar)

by Personnel Today 15 Jan 2016
by Personnel Today 15 Jan 2016

From 1 April 2016, workers aged 25 and over must be paid at least the new “national living wage” of £7.20 per hour. But is this simply another band of the minimum wage? And what should employers be doing now to prepare?

Are you prepared for the national living wage?

Available on-demand now

In this XpertHR webinar, in association with Personnel Today, we discuss what the national living wage means for employers, including potential implications for pay differentials and salary-sacrifice schemes, as well as the likely cost of implementing it.

We also explore why many employers are choosing to pay beyond the statutory minimum – committing to paying the higher Living Wage Foundation rate or more.

This live 60-minute webinar includes a Q&A session answering participants’ questions.
