I mentioned earlier on that my sister was thinking twice about taking on an apprentice (MOT  garage).  She is now definitely not going to do so.

Wriggle as she can, there's no way that she can meet the new NI payments and train someone.  Sad - especially for one lad.

" - especially for one lad."

Or lass, jourdain, surely???  😀😂 🤣

In my day GP surgeries didn't have staff. The GPs ran their own practice. But of course the system has been changed since then.

[Old_Geezer]

Stores that don't provide proper till service tend to lose my custom. I believe there are quite a few around of the same point of view. If they can't provide service they shouldn't be dealing with the public.

OG, I don't know if you own a car but if you do, do you fill it up from the pump yourself?

[New Judge]

“All estimated and hearsay, show me proof if and when it happens.”

Let’s do a bit of realistic estimating before it happens (as the Treasury should have hopefully done).

Leaving aside the doctors (four partners and two salaried GPs) my GP surgery employs 22 people (not including any cleaners, etc. not listed on the practice website).

Just assuming they are paid an average of £25,000pa (I’ve no idea whether or not this is accurate, but just to illustrate my point). This makes their salary bill £550,000 and on this they make employers’ NI contributions of £48,272. From next April this will rise to £66,000  (and this assumes no pay rises). So how will they find this additional £17,728? They cannot increase their prices; the government has said they will not be exempt from the extra charges nor receive any rebate. What do you suppose they will do?

Are they going to just “absorb” it (as Mr Starmer expects Tesco’s to absorb the extra £1bn they are going to have to pay)?

Like i said NJ all estimating  and hearsay, and now assuming?

Regarding Tescos estimated one billion extra. Tesco don't have any problems in laying out millions buying up land that they have no intention of building on or using, other then stopping any other retail outlet trading near them.

Like I've said the big boys have got to big, ask Naomi24 who got stung by the big boys for just parking, now if she had been parking during the day you could say she was obstructing their customers, this was when they were closed, so the big boys can clobber you even when they are not there.

[nicebloke1]

When you kill the competition off, you can then rip the customer off, because they have no where else to go.

Haven't owner a car since some assol eent through a red light and wrote my last one off.

 

Pumping my own petrol is not the same as going to pay at the counter. Same as filling a supermarket basket isn't the same as going to the till for service. Although in both cases it was nice when we simply asked for what we wanted. We can accept so much service reduction but there are limits.

[Canary42]

More faux outrage from the embittered defeated Righties.

[naomi24]

Nicebloke, NJ's example of the extra costs to a GP surgery isn't rocket science.  Everyone should be capable of understanding it.  My parking fine is irrelevant. 

[youngmafbog]

Jeez the economy based on a trip to Tesco.

Some people have no economic sense whatsoever, even when it is spelt out to them by people like NJ.

There is no prejection or hearsay, that is fact.  Where will the GP find the money?

I know, one person will be sacked, but nicebloke seems to think all would be sorted if Tesco didnt have self serve tills.

For Gods sake what is wrong with you man?

're the GP thing

Our practice is doing yearly asthma checks via an online tool.  Only the small number above a certain score are 'invited' to see a medical assistant.  This means they can use the previously full time asthma nurse on other duties. She will now only see those whose condition had become problematic.  At first sight this seems  like a cost effective use of technology but as an ex-nurse  I would suggest the specialist nurse picked up other issues and potentially important ones at that.   Yes a person might be ok on the algorithm, but had they been seen things like condition related depresson, and failure to cope would be identified too.

[nicebloke1]

9.30 Jeez the economy based on one trip to Tesco? In your head only.

For gods sake whats wrong with you man?

Nothing, I just have a different view to you, and you appear not to be able to cope with that.

22:19 "Like i said NJ all estimating  and hearsay, and now assuming?" - well unless they all are zero paid voluntary workers the ENI bill is going up. The judge picked a number to illustrate the point that that employer is going to have to find £Xk that they currently do not. Ain't rocket is it?
