One quiet change to Statutory Sick Pay is about to become the biggest payroll headache of 2026.
Rather than a single major tax shock, employers are facing a series of practical reforms that require preparation, adaptation and clear communication.
This year’s UK Payroll Legislation Guide by SD Worx brings those changes into focus, offering a clear view of what’s shifting and what payroll and HR teams need to do about it.
The guide summarises the major legislative developments affecting UK employers in 2026 and beyond, from Statutory Sick Pay reform to the upcoming payrolling of benefits in kind.
What you’ll learn:
How the removal of the Lower Earnings Limit changes SSP eligibility and calculations from 6th April 2026.
What payroll and HR teams need to update now to stay compliant with the new SSP model.
How to prepare for mandatory Payrolling of Benefits in Kind ahead of the April 2027 deadline.
Updated student loan repayment thresholds and PAYE, NIC and other rates for 2026 to 2027.
What the April 2026 increases to National Minimum and Living Wage mean for employers.
