Hi! If you're new here, you might want to register for free email updates. Just use the form at the top of the sidebar. Thanks for visiting The Payroll Blog!

Our first newsletter of 2010 considers a number of changes that are effective from the start of the year, such as the new Acas Code of Practice on trade union duties and activities, additional resources for HMRC to identify employers paying below the national minimum wage, some revised booklets and the merger of the RCPO with the CPS to made the RCD of the CPS (try working it out!)

Other items look forward to the April changes, such as the new tax provisions and the important new penalty regime that applies to all employers who make their monthly and quarterly payments late. This latter change is also the subject of this month’s Employer FAQ.

And even further into the future to 2012, we have a one-off extra bank holiday and the opportunity for employees to set aside their “nest egg”.
