From HMRC: Getting ready for the National Minimum Wage increase

Dear customer,

The National Minimum Wage (NMW) rates increase from 1‌‌‌ April‌‌‌ 2025. HMRC is offering a live webinar to help employers get ready for the change, as well as talking over some common mistakes employers make.

The NMW team are offering a number of live webinars as mistakes are very easy to make and most employers don’t realise they are making them. If you’re a business that makes deductions through payroll, operate salary sacrifice schemes or don’t necessarily pay for all time worked, this webinar is for you.

Getting ready for the National Minimum Wage increase

Register for this webinar on how we can help you get your business ready for the new rates and avoid accidentally underpaying your workers.

You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions throughout using the on-screen text box.

Some other useful steps employers can take, include:

• check the new rates
• identify which staff are due the new rate
• update payroll systems as soon as possible
• contact the ACAS helpline to get impartial and confidential advice on paying workers correctly
• visit the ‘Calculating the minimum wage‘ guidance page on GOV‌‌‌.‌‌‌UK for advice on how to perform the right calculations, because NMW is more than just a pay rate
Yours faithfully
