The UK government has published updated rates for statutory pay entitlements, effective from April 2025. Here’s what you need to know:
Maternity, Paternity, Adoption, Shared Parental, and Parental Bereavement Pay: Increased to £187.18 per week (up from £184.03).
Statutory Sick Pay (SSP): Raised to £118.75 per week (up from £116.75).
Earnings Thresholds: For SMP, SPP, SAP, SSPP, and SPBP, the threshold will rise to £125 per week (from £123). The threshold for Maternity Allowance remains at £30 per week.
These updates ensure statutory payments keep pace with inflation and support employees during crucial life events. Businesses should prepare to implement the changes in payroll systems.
