The statutory rights to employees in areas of pay has been improved to include 1 day in line with the 2020 Act after commencing their employment. The considerations include payment above the national minimum wage and an itemised payslip from the first day. The different legislations such as Equal Pay Act 1970, Equality Act 1970 have all been repealed with Equality Act 2010 consolidating all the legislations. The payslip should involve Basic salary, Dearness Allowance, Housing rent allowances, Professional taxes, special allowances, leave travel allowances, medical allowances, conveyance allowances, tax deducted at source and EPFs (Employee’s provident funds). Legislation.Go.UK (2021a) which identify the National Minimum Wage 1998 which note the minimum pay per hour majority of workers of under 23 years are entitled to by law. Also, the National Living Wage 2022 (GOV.UK, 2021b) which identify the minimum wage rates as increasing on 1stApril where the pay per hour of employees of age 23 years is set by law.For instance, in April 2022, the minimum wage was set to include £4.81 which is a 4.1% increase for 16-17 year olds, £6.83 representing 4.1% increase for 18-20 years old and £9.18 representing 9.8% increase for employees aged 21-22 years.
Right of itemized pay slip starting from their first day– In the UK, employees should be given a payslip to employees from the first day of their employment. This is considerable for all employment contracts except casual ones. According to Section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, at the start of employment, employers have to give payment of wages or salary as the itemized pay statement (payslip) (Legislation.gov.uk, 1996).
In UK, the payslip legislation is as addressed by the Payment of Wages Act 1991. This law was further amended in February 2018 to be incorporated in the Employment Rights Act 1996 (itemised pay statement (amendment). In this amendment, it was stated that employers are required to offer insights on the amount of wages or salary varying by referencing on time worked, the total number of hours worked in respect of variable amount of wages or salary as a single aggregate figure or a separate figures for different types of work or different rates of pay. As evidenced in ACAS (2022), the employees leverage on the right to a payslip and entail what need to be included in the payslip. More critically, the payslip is a written statement from the employer evidencing what is earned before taxation and other deductions.
Statutory maternity pay (SMP), Statutory Adoption Pay (SAP), Statutory Paternity Pay (SSP), Statutory shared parental pay (ShPP), Statutory Parental Bereavement Pay (SSBP) and the Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)- As evidenced in Gov.UK (2013), these are reviewed every April of a year. As evidenced in April 2022 release, these would be increased from £151.97 to £156.66 or 90% of the employees every week earnings when the amount is less than a statutory rate. Further, for the MA, this would increase from £151.97 to £156.66.

- This was established after the post-negotiation review which brought out fundamental lessons about the supplier and our company’s negotiation pattern.
- As for certain important aspects, we indeed secured favourable financing conditions; yet, problems arose in attempting to synchronize delivery schedules since such conditions are affected by external supply chain factors.
- The supplier had the better BATNA and acted in a cooperative but very assertive way, and elaborated why the correct approach to negotiations is more equal.
- Further, the experience showed how flexible one has to be, how innovative, and how it pays to be more interested in long-term partnership rather than quick profit. Therefore, it will be useful in the future to improve the techniques of negotiation, improve the knowledge about the actions of suppliers, and improve intercompany and supplier cooperation.
- This will ensure that in future procurement negotiations; better outcomes are achieved.
- ROSHN should ensure that all negotiations within the next 6 months include specific metrics for delivery timelines, quality standards, and service levels, aiming for a 90% satisfaction rate in supplier compliance with these criteria. This approach will help secure more balanced and sustainable agreements.
- Over the next 12 months, ROSHN should develop a supplier relationship management program with bi-annual assessments to track and improve partnership quality. Target at least a 15% increase in supplier engagement scores by the end of the year to gain favorable bargaining positions during market downturns.
- Within 1 month of each major negotiation, conduct debriefing sessions to analyze performance, identify strengths, and address weaknesses. The goal is to improve negotiation effectiveness by at least 10% in the subsequent quarter through targeted adjustments based on these evaluations.
- Within the next 4 months, involve at least 80% of key stakeholders in sourcing strategy meetings to ensure alignment and gather input on critical decisions. This engagement aims to reduce misalignment issues by 20% within the year, resulting in smoother implementation of sourcing strategies.
