A news item from 24 October 2016 contained the 2017-18 NI Guidance for Software Developers Specification (version September 2016). Please note the method in this specification that is used to produce the above figures does not calculate the correct weekly UEL/UST/AUST. The specification will produce £865 due to the rounding applied, but it has been confirmed that the correct figure is £866. An amendment to the specification has been requested.
