REDUNDANCY REBATE CHANGES • The abolition of redundancy rebates for employers of ten or more employees will come into effect on August 1, or as soon as the Wages Bill receives Royal Assent, whichever is the later. This is the effect of a recently-tabled Government amendment.
In its present form, the Bill provides for this part to come into effect "on a day to be appointed by the Secretary of State."
The amendment is intended to ensure that the savings in public expenditure achieved by the abolition of certain rebates are diverted immediately towards specific measures to help small firms and promote employment generation. It is hoped to reduce the public expenditure on redundancy rebates by another £40 million in this financial year.
