Pay and Benefits

It is important for all employers to ensure pay and benefits related information is communicated, retained and managed properly in order to comply with various legislative acts (e.g. Employment Rights Act 1996, National Minimum Wage Act 1998, Equal Pay Act 1970 and Wages Act 1986).

Also, to ensure the smooth running of day-to-day payroll activities it is crucial for an employer to inform all employees about how payments, benefits and expenses will be calculated, paid to staff and deducted from salary (e.g. recovery from wage payments) in order to avoid an unlawful deduction from pay.

Even though basic payroll related information, such as wages, salary and pension scheme details, needs to be provided to an employee as part of their terms and conditions of employment (e.g. Contract of Employment), the calculation and reimbursement of such payments is a different matter.

Our documents within this section are aimed at helping you as an employer manage activities associated with paying employees and providing benefits and expenses, including:

• a framework by which employees can reclaim overtime, expenses, mileage and petty cash
• authorisation for an employer to reclaim amounts from an employee without the fear of a claim of an unlawful deduction from payroll
• confirmation of salary amounts and changes
• records of overtime and working time
• confirmation of benefit amounts, changes, contributions and cover level
• recording of pension scheme contributions and fund distribution details
