<p>The Government is committed to increasing the opportunities for full-time employment
across the UK. That is why we introduced the Employment Allowance in April 2014 which
entitles businesses and charities to a £2,000 allowance on their annual National Insurance
contributions bill. The allowance is reducing the cost of employment, supporting small
businesses aspiring to grow by hiring their first employee or expanding their workforce.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>We are also abolishing Employer National Insurance contributions for
under 21s on earnings up to £813 a week from April 2015 helping to support full-time
employment for young people. The Government will of course continue to look at further
ways to support full-time employment across the UK.</p><p> </p>
