Universal Credit: A quick guide for employers

23 September 2013

The Department for Work and Pensions has published a quick guide for organisations about what Universal Credit will mean for employers.

Universal Credit is the driving force behind reporting real time information; in particular the implementation timelines so having a brief idea of how it works may be of benefit if you are asked any questions from employees.

Universal Credit works for employers – this three page guide explains:

 how Universal Credit affects employers  what employees claiming Universal Credit have to do  when the Universal Credit changes happen.

Universal Credit increases the financial benefits of work and provides employers with a more flexible workforce.
