Incomes Data Services (IDS) was a British research organisation dedicated to employment-related areas.

IDS published numerous journals and books, had several subscription websites, and undertook contract research.

In December 2014, Thomson Reuters announced its decision to close the business effective 31 March 2015, discontinuing the pay and HR products.

IDS was founded by David Layton[1] in 1966 with the aim of providing accurate and timely information which could be put to practical use by all those involved in determining pay, benefits and related employment policies in Britain.

As the employment law field became more complex, IDS launched more information services covering new areas.
