Our team make sure that both full-time and part-time employees receive accurate statutory leave entitlements.

Full-time employees are entitled to 28 days of paid annual leave, including public holidays. Part-time employees receive leave on a pro-rata basis, calculated by the number of hours worked.

For example, an employee working 3 days a week would receive 16.8 days of annual leave. Our payroll management systems track leave accrual and usage in real-time. Employees can easily access their leave balances and accrual rates through our online payroll services, promoting transparency and compliance.

Apex Accountants helps businesses manage Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP), and Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP).

Employees must meet certain eligibility requirements to qualify. SSP applies when employees are off work for at least 4 days and earn over £123 per week. It is paid at £109.40 per week for up to 28 weeks.

SMP is paid for up to 39 weeks, starting with 90% of average weekly earnings for 6 weeks, then a set rate of £172.48. SPP lasts up to 2 weeks. Our payroll management services calculate and process these payments accurately.

Apex Accountants helps businesses get through the legal aspects of managing shift adjustments. Employers must give reasonable notice, usually at least 24 hours, before changing shifts.

Overtime should be paid at a higher rate than regular hours. Employees must also receive rest breaks, daily rest, and weekly rest periods. Our payroll management services automate shift notifications, calculate overtime pay, and integrate rest periods into schedules.

We also handle shift premiums and maintain accurate records of shifts worked. Our online payroll services UK give you easy access to shift data and payroll information.
