UKHospitality Warns of Major Employment Cost Increase Due to New Budget
UKHospitality has announced in Propel that the recent #Budget will raise the cost of full-time employment in the hospitality sector by at least ï¿¡2,500 per employee.
Key figures from their analysis include:
? National Insurance Contribution Increase: For a full-time worker aged 21 or older, employers’ contributions will jump by 53.9%, from £1,863 to £2,869 per year.
? Part-Time Workers: For example, a single parent working 9am-3pm, five days a week, will generate ï¿¡2,100 more in employment costs.
Meanwhile, a student working 14 hours on weekends will add ï¿¡1,140 in additional costs.
Kate Nicholls OBE CEO of UKHospitality highlighted the concerns within the industry, noting that these cost increases are unsustainable.
She stated that this will likely force hospitality businesses to
- reduce hours,
- scale back recruitment, or
- even cut existing staff,
as many cannot absorb the additional financial burden.
She warned that these measures could ultimately harm the sector’s ability to support employment and contribute to local economies, as high street businesses struggle with balancing costs and remaining viable.
