A brief guide to hiring in United Kingdom
How is payroll managed in the United Kingdom?
In the UK, workers typically receive a salary paid monthly. All payment details must be reported to HMRC every month using the RTI (Real Time Information) system, to keep the local government updated on payment records. It’s essential to submit this data accurately and punctually to avoid potential penalties and fines.
What are the rules for sick leave?
Employees who are ill for up to seven days can self-certify without needing a medical certificate. Beyond seven days, a medical certificate is necessary to continue the leave. Employees are eligible for SSP (Statutory Sick Pay) after being sick for four days. Eligibility and duration of SSP depend on several factors. Your dedicated specialist at SimplyEOR can provide guidance on this.
What should be considered when dismissing an employee?
Employment rights in the UK are stringently upheld. It’s advisable to consult one of our Employment Law Advisors before any dismissal process to ensure compliance. Depending on the dismissal type, employees may be eligible for a significant compensation amount.
