Feeling the Squeeze? Rising Payroll Costs Are Hurting Employers
But there is a Smarter Way to Support Your Staff
If you’re an employer, you’ve likely felt the pinch. The cost of employing people has gone up substantially.
The higher rate of Employers’ National Insurance and a lower threshold before it kicks in, have increased payroll costs across the board. These changes might seem small on paper, but their impact on company budgets has been anything but. For SMEs and larger employers alike, it’s creating a real headache:
🔹 Rising NI contributions
🔹 Higher payroll costs overall
🔹 Budget pressure making pay rises difficult—if not impossible
