GET READY FOR THE PERSONAL ALLOWANCE CHANGES STARTING IN SEPTEMBER
Employers are sent details by HM Revenue & Customs on how to get ready for the tax code changes which will be required for many individuals following the Chancellor's announcement in May. The new tax codes and rate bands must be used from the first payday on or after 7 September (basic Personal Allowance is increasing by £600 from £5,435 to £6,035 and the basic rate limit is reducing from £36,000 to £34,800).

Tip of the week:
Expect the Best from Your Employees to get the best from them. But make sure that you set realistic expectations. Subordinates won't work to deliver their best on-the-job performance unless they view your expectations as achievable.
To unleash the power of positive expectations, start by expecting the most from yourself. Good managers have confidence in their ability to select, develop, and motivate employees. This in turn influences their beliefs about their people--and their expectations and treatment of them.
