1st October 2007.
The minimum wage has risen for adults to 5.52 per hour
Check - we're well generous compared to that!
Statutory holidays have risen for full time employees to 24 days per year
Check - as that includes bank and public hoidays, well in there too. And will still be OK at April 2009 when it rises to 28 days
Sale of cigarettes is to 18 and overs only now, not 16 and overs.
Check - These are not products we sell
Fuel tax rises by 2p per litre
Check - Will put up our travel costs - need to review milage rate from December - note that any on site courses booked by 31st December will be at current rate.
"Steady as she goes" All good practise changes, I think.
