What is a minimum wage compliance review?
It is a review of payroll records, working patterns and deductions to check whether employees have been paid at least the required minimum wage for the relevant pay reference periods.
Can minimum wage breaches happen even if hourly rates look correct?
Yes. Breaches can arise because of unpaid working time, deductions, uniform costs, salary sacrifice, incorrect rate categories or incomplete time records.
Can you quantify historic underpayments?
Good digital records are increasingly important, especially for VAT and Making Tax Digital. Software can also make job costing and receipt capture easier.
Can you help if HMRC has opened a minimum wage enquiry?
Yes. We can discuss a package depending on your needs.
Can you help with rectification payments?
Yes. We can discuss a package depending on your needs.
