The 1st of April is fast approaching and if you’re a business owner, you’ll want to take note of some key changes. The government is set to adjust National Insurance (NI) rates and increase the National Living Wage, both of which will impact your business costs- especially if you hire temporary workers. In this blog, we’ll break down exactly what’s changing, what it means for your business, and how you can avoid the hit to your budget by acting now.

What’s Changing on 1st April?
Important Update for Employers!
From the 1st of April 2025, the National Insurance allowance will drop to £5,000 per year, and the employer NI contribution rate will increase to 15%- up from the current 13.8%. This means you’ll need to pay more through National Insurance for your temporary staff.
