Your budget and payroll
By Charlotte Haines, Payroll Officer

When considering your budget for the next financial year it is important to factor in any changes to pay which may arise. These changes can include:

  • The increase to national minimum wage

  • NALC pay award and backpay associated

  • Clerk and other employee pay rises

  • An increase in the clerk or other employee’s hours

  • Overtime pay

  • Holiday pay and holiday pay accrued on overtime

  • Employer pension contributions whether this LGPS or a workplace pension such as NEST

  • Any expense reimbursements which may be owed such as a homeworking allowance, the use of personal mobile phone, the use of personal computer and mileage

  • Maternity pay and the paying of an additional salary to cover the employee who is on maternity leave (two salaries)

  • Statutory sick leave; this can no longer be claimed back from HMRC, but a minimum payment will still be due

  • Council sick leave for an employee and the paying of an additional salary to cover the employee who is off sick (two salaries)

If you require more information on any of the above and you are a payroll member, please contact me.
