📢 UK Payroll Update – April 2026 🇬🇧

Big changes are here, and they matter to both employees and businesses!

From April 2026, the National Living Wage has increased, meaning millions of workers will see more money in their pockets 💷✨ Full-time employees could earn over £1,000 extra per year — a welcome boost during rising living costs.

It’s not just wages — Statutory Sick Pay is now higher and starts from Day 1, giving workers better financial protection when they need it most. Family leave pay has also gone up, supporting parents across the UK 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

However, for employers, costs are rising too. Higher National Insurance contributions and updated payroll requirements mean businesses must adapt quickly to stay compliant.

💡 What does this mean?
✔️ Better pay and benefits for employees
✔️ Increased costs and responsibility for employers
✔️ A need for accurate, up-to-date payroll systems

At Birkrigg, we help businesses stay ahead of payroll changes with confidence and ease.
