The new rates will take effect on 6 April 2025. Statutory maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental pay will go up nominally from \u00a3184.03 to \u00a3187.18 a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The earnings threshold for these payments – except for maternity pay – will also go up from \u00a3123 to \u00a3125 a week. The threshold for maternity allowance will remain at \u00a330 per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statutory parental bereavement pay, paid to individuals who need to take time off work if their child dies or there is a stillbirth, will also go up to \u00a3187.18 a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statutory sick pay will rise from \u00a3116.75 per week to \u00a3118.75. Under the proposed Employment Rights Bill, sick pay could soon be payable from the first day of being ill, but this will likely not be in effect by next April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As announced in the autumn budget, employees on carer’s allowance will see their weekly earnings threshold rise from \u00a3151 per week to \u00a3196, and the weekly payment will go up from \u00a381.90 to \u00a383.30. This means they can work up to 16 hours per week on the national minimum wage alongside caring responsibilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
