Non-standard pay initiatives have become much more common over the past while, and this issue includes detailed coverage of the sorts of innovative approaches employers have been adopting to deal with tighter labour markets and higher inflation. Special ‘cost-of-living’ or other one-off payments, additional or interim pay awards, early pay awards and flat-rate rises are the main approaches covered, though we also touch on other approaches briefly as well.
In another article, we look at changes to the rules governing holiday entitlement for part-year workers, something that is likely to mostly affect public sector employers. The article includes expert comment from employment law specialist Darren Newman, who many of you will know from our annual pay planning conferences.
Finally, we also include a think-piece on the changes to gender pay reporting that a new government might entertain.
