More than half of employers expect new

National Living Wage to affect salary bill

MORE than half of all employers (54 per

cent) say that the new National Living Wage
(NLW) will have an effect on their wage bill,
with three in 10 of those organisations that
will be affected by the new higher wage floor
planning to raise productivity in response to
its introduction.
This is according to a new survey published
today by the CIPD, the professional body for
HR and people development, and the Resolution Foundation.
The survey of 1,037 employers, which
launches a joint CIPD/RF investigation into
how firms in low-paying sectors will adapt
to the NLW, shows that the higher wage floor
will have its greatest impact in retail (79 per
cent) and hospitality (77 per cent), where
more than three-quarters of employers say
their wage bill will be affected.
In addition, more than two-thirds of employers in the healthcare sector (68 per cent)
will be affected.
Overall, almost one in five employers (18
per cent) say that they will be affected to a
large extent by the NLW, a figure that rises
to around a third in retail (33 per cent) and
hospitality (32 per cent).
Asked for the three most important things
they plan to do in response to the NLW, employers are most likely to say that they intend
to manage these higher costs by improving
efficiency/productivity, with 30 per cent of
employers intending to do this.
Taking lower profits/absorbing costs is the
next most popular response (22 per cent),
followed by reducing overtime and bonuses
(16 per cent), raising prices (15 per cent) and
reducing the number of their employees
through redundancies or slower recruitment
(15 per cent).

Fewer than one in 10 employers say that

they will reduce the basic pay growth rate
for the rest of the workforce (nine per cent),
reduce hours (nine per cent), hire more
workers under 25 (eight per cent), hire more
apprentices (eight per cent) or cancel/scale
down plans for investing in or expanding the
business (seven per cent).
The CIPD and the RF note that the responses differ by type of employer. For example, small employers (one to 249 staff) are
significantly more likely to say that they will
respond by raising prices (25 per cent) than
larger employers (250-plus staff) of whom just
10 per cent say that they will respond in this
way.
A higher proportion of public sector
employers (21 per cent) say they plan to cut
the size of their workforce as a result of the
introduction of the NLW than private sector
employers (13 per cent).
The CIPD and RF welcome the fact that so
many employers plan to raise productivity
in response to the new higher wage floor.
However, they warn that securing these gains
may be challenging for many firms.
The survey also finds that of those firms
who say that they will be affected by the
NLW, 26 per cent say that it will reduce pay
differentials between those affected and their
supervisors/managers.
However, with almost as many employers
(20 per cent) saying that they would maintain
pay differentials, the NLW also looks set to
have a positive ripple effect for workers
already earning above the new wage floor.
This finding supports recent RF research,
which estimated that 2.8 million workers
would directly get a pay rise as a result of the
new National Living Wage by 2020, with a fur-

ther 3.2 million workers receiving an indirect

benefit as employers seek to maintain pay
differentials between staff.
However, 46 per cent of employers who
expect to be affected by the NL Wage do not
yet know what impact it will have on pay
differentials within their business, so there is
still considerable uncertainty over what the
effects will be.
Just over a quarter of employers (28 per
cent) think that cuts to corporation tax and
national insurance will offset at least some
of the extra wage costs, though only one in 10
says the tax cuts will offset most or all of the
increased costs.
However, reflecting the fact that many
employers have yet to fully assess the impact
of the range of taxation changes, 30 per cent
were unable to give a response.
Mark Beatson, chief economist at the CIPD,
said: The NLW was a bombshell for most
employers when it was announced in July.
It comes into force in April next year, which
does not give employers a lot of time to prepare. Hence we found 26 per cent of employers in September saying that it was still too
soon for them to say how they would manage
the cost implications.
For those who have started to think about
the consequences, the emphasis on efficiency
rather than cost-cutting is welcome.
However, our research also suggests that
only a small proportion of firms see any
substantial connection between the NLW and
other changes to taxes and National Insurance Contributions.
If the Chancellor wants to provide any
more support for businesses grappling
with the NLW in the Autumn Statement, it
might be better delivered through enhanced

business support or special help for the care

sector rather than shaving small amounts off
general business taxation.
Conor DArcy, policy analyst at the Resolution Foundation, said: The new N LW will
have a huge impact on the labour market
when it comes into effect next April, with
millions of workers set to get a pay rise and
half of all employers saying that they will be
affected.
Its encouraging that so many firms say
that theyll respond to the new higher wage
floor by improving efficiency. But actually delivering this will prove challenging in many
sectors, and its important irms are given the
necessary support to boost productivity.
