CBI are delighted to be holding their first Yorkshire & The Humber HR Forum which is kindly supported by Brewster Pratap Recruitment Group.
The topic for our first roundtable will be on the National Living Wage (NLW) and will be held at the Advanced Manufacturing Park, Rotherham S60 5WG. I do hope you will be able to join us.
As you know, employees aged 25 and over are entitled to the NLW which will rise to £7.50 an hour in April and to a target of 60% of average earnings by 2020. While the CBI has been clear that business support a higher skilled, higher wage economy, the NLW will be a stretch for many firms.
During this roundtable, the CBI will provide an overview of how businesses are responding to the introduction of the NLW and the action we’re taking to support affected businesses. I’m delighted that a representative from the Low Pay Commission will be joining us to give their perspective on this new pay floor. The roundtable will also provide an opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities the NLW presents and to hear how other businesses are responding.
