Tipping rules are changing, and it may be worth employers taking a look at how tips are handled in the business.

The Government has published its response to the consultation on strengthening the law on tipping, with changes expected from October 2026, subject to parliamentary approval.

Employers will be expected to consult workers before introducing a tipping policy or making significant changes to one. They will also need to review their tipping policy at least once every three years to make sure it remains fair and transparent.

This is a good time to check how tips are collected, shared, recorded and explained to workers.

Does your business have a clear process for how tips are handled?

A lovely testimonial from Sarah Redgate at Petty Cash Bookkeeping.

Sarah has worked with Hayley for a number of years to keep mutual clients up to date, and shared that every client she has referred to Hayley has spoken so highly of her friendliness and professionalism.

She also described the Chanonry team as approachable, efficient and customer focused, which is exactly how we want clients to feel when payroll is being handled.

Thank you, Sarah, for such kind words. They mean a lot to us.

Mandatory payrolling of Benefits in Kind is being introduced in phases from April 2027, which gives businesses some time to prepare.

That time can be useful for checking what benefit records are already in place, how information is stored, whether payroll software is ready, and how employees will be kept informed when benefits move closer to payroll.

Company cars, vans, fuel and medical benefits are expected to be included first, so they are a good place to start.

The change may feel a while away, but the detail behind it is worth checking early.

Has your business started reviewing how benefit information is recorded?

HMRC is consulting on possible changes to the way National Insurance contributions are recovered and repaid.

The aim is to bring NIC rules more closely in line with Income Tax, which could make the process more consistent when employers are dealing with PAYE and National Insurance together.

This does not change NIC rates, thresholds or how contributions are calculated. It is about how liabilities are assessed, recovered and repaid.

For employers, it is another useful reminder that payroll is not just about getting people paid. Records, corrections, compliance checks and changing rules all sit behind the scenes too.

Summer can make payroll feel a little busier than usual, especially when holidays are being checked, cover is being planned, seasonal workers are starting, hours are changing, timesheets are coming in and employee questions are popping up along the way.

Summer payroll has a lot of moving parts, especially when holidays, cover, changing hours and employee questions all land in the same week.

Having a clear payroll process can make a real difference, because pay, holidays, hours and changes still need to be handled properly even when people, plans and working patterns are moving around.

We are so proud to share that Hayley has been nominated for Highland Business Woman of the Year.

It is a lovely recognition of the business Hayley has built, the team around her, and the care that runs through everything Chanonry does.

Payroll might be full of detail, deadlines and numbers, but Hayley has always made sure the people side matters too.

A very proud moment, and so well deserved.

Benefits in Kind are changing, but employers now have a more phased route into the update.

Mandatory payrolling will begin from April 2027, starting with company cars and fuel, vans and van fuel, and private medical benefits.

Other benefits will follow later, giving businesses more time to prepare.

It is still worth thinking ahead. Payroll software, benefit records, internal processes and employee communication may all need to be reviewed before the changes fully come in.

This is the kind of payroll update that can feel far away until it suddenly becomes part of the to-do list.

We are so proud to share that Hayley has been named in the Reward 300, recognised in the Payroll Influencer category.

This is such a lovely moment for Hayley and a real recognition of the work she does to open up conversations about payroll, pay, confidence and understanding.

At Chanonry, payroll has always been about much more than numbers. It is about care, clarity, communication and making sure businesses feel in safe hands.

Hayley brings that same passion to everything she does, from Chanonry to The Payroll Guide, her books and her wider work in payroll education.

👏 A very proud moment, and so well deserved.

Holiday season can make payroll feel a little busier than usual.

There may be annual leave to check, cover to plan, seasonal workers starting, hours changing, timesheets coming in, and employee questions popping up along the way.

It is not always one big payroll problem that takes up the time. Sometimes it is all the little bits arriving at once, just when everyone is trying to keep the business running smoothly over the summer.

That is why clear payroll processes matter. They help make sure pay, holidays, hours, and changes are handled properly, even when the month feels full.

What payroll questions come up most often for your business during the summer?

July payroll does not stop after one deadline.

There may still be holiday pay to check, new starters to add, seasonal workers to process, sickness absence to handle, employee questions to answer and the next payroll run to prepare.

It is always the little payroll bits that seem to arrive together.

So this is your friendly reminder that one deadline passing does not mean the payroll list is finished.

What is next on your payroll list this month?
