Recent minimum wage enforcement action has highlighted just how easily payroll errors can have significant consequences.
B&Q, NHS organisations and Five Guys are among the employers recently found to have underpaid workers, with millions of pounds in arrears being repaid.
Importantly, these cases aren't necessarily about employers deliberately trying to pay staff less. Payroll calculations can be complex, and issues involving allowances, deductions, salary sacrifice and minimum wage calculations can result in employees being underpaid.
That's why accurate payroll is so important.
For employers, getting payroll right means more than paying people on time. It means:
โ๏ธ Applying the correct rates of pay
โ๏ธ Getting deductions and allowances right
โ๏ธ Keeping up with changing legislation
โ๏ธ Maintaining accurate records
โ๏ธ Making sure employees receive what they're legally entitled to
Payroll Week is a great opportunity to recognise the people behind the payroll and the important role they play in keeping businesses compliant and employees paid correctly.
