This has no impact in April 2024 as the levels and triggers remain frozen. Employers also have the option to use the tax period as the Pay Reference Period (PRP).

Important factors are the accurate recording of working time as defined by NMW law and the treatment of certain working expenses, such as ‘uniform’. Timing of work and payment is also critical. Some amounts of pay do not count towards NMW pay such as the premium element of overtime. Absence is not counted as working time. It is possible for employees with hourly pay rates above perceived minimums are actually paid below National Minimum Wage.

                                                                                These increases may result in lower paid employees no longer being able to participate in salary sacrifice or salary exchange arrangements where there is not sufficient excess pay to exchange.

This time the announcement has been made prior to the start of the Living Wage week (6-13th November 2023), however, the deadline for an accredited employer is to implement the rates by 6th May 2024.

                                                                                      It is still possible for an employer who pays the Living Wage to be in breach of the government National Minimum Wage laws as the basis of qualifying and payment are different. Living Wage is about the rate of pay paid, whereas the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage are about the pay received across the amount of time worked.
