As of 1st April 2012 statutory maternity pay, paternity pay and adoption pay will increase to £135.45 and the ‘weekly earnings threshold’ will rise to £107.00.
As of 6th April 2012 statutory sick pay will increase to £85.85 and the ‘weekly earnings threshold’ will also increase to £107.00.
As of 9th April 2012 maternity allowance will increase to £135.45.
The changes are being brought in by The Social Security Benefits Up-rating Order 2012.
These changes come in addition to the changes I have recently blogged about:
Unfair Dismissal Qualifying Period to Increase to 2 Years
