While mobilised, reservists are employed and paid by the Ministry of Defence, who also make the relevant employer's national insurance contributions. The Defence Reform Bill includes provision to make additional payments to the employers of reservists beyond those currently permitted. As set out in the White Paper “Reserves in the Future Force 2020: Valuable and Valued” (CM 8655) published in July 2013, the intention is to make payments of £500 per month for each employee of a small or medium-sized enterprise who is mobilised.
