• This will be for either a single aggregate figure or as separate figures and it will depend on the different types of work or the rate of pay.
• This is an amendment to section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and this amendment will be added to the ‘list of particulars’ that must be included in the pay statement or payslip that is rightfully given to an employee or worker.
