National Living Wage: Free advice for IoIC members

More than half of employers are reviewing their overall pay and grading structure to ensure remuneration remains fair, following the introduction of the National Living Wage (NLW).

However, 18.4% said they would consider using apprentices and younger workers as under-25s are not covered by the law, and 6.1% said they would need to make workers redundant.

The figures come from research by Croner’s specialist pay & benefits team, which surveyed 100 organisations on a range of questions relating to NLW.

The full report is available to download for FREE by IoIC members in the 'Research' section of this website here – and covers:

• what should be included in the NLW
• who should be paid the NLW
• the impact it will have on business
• potential issues facing employers
• possible NLW age discrimination
• penalties for non-compliance, and
• ideas for coping with the pay rise.

Advice on the NLW is also available by phone for IoIC members via the Croner Business Support Helpline – details here
