With the Autumn Budget on the horizon, it has been widely speculated that the Government could increase employers' National Insurance Contributions. Partner Bina Gayadien spoke to HR magazine and inews.co.uk (The i paper) to explain how this potential change could impact employers, and potentially employees: “Any increase in the employer NICs rate will raise costs for businesses but also impact employees. Businesses may respond by reducing staff, freezing recruitment, and scaling down employee benefits.” 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: HR Magazine: https://lnkd.in/eFdCP9fn inews: https://lnkd.in/eHza9q4V #WeAreSpencerWest
