Is My Payslip Correct: Minimum Wage Increase

la531983

Once they fix it, net monthly salary should be around £1647 (and pence)

You need to politely point out your April pay wasnt paid at NMW, and when will it be rectified. Give them chance to fix it before taking more nuclear options.

Just checking...what's your 'pay reference period' ie does your April payslip cover 1-30 April, or some other period such as 16 March to 15 April?

Yes, it's 1st to last day of the month, we always get paid last day of month.

This looks like what your problem is......
From  https://www.acas.org.uk/national-minimum-wage-entitlement/when-your-rate-increases
"The higher rate starts to apply from the next pay reference period after the increase. This means someone's pay might not go up straight away."
The next pay reference period after the increase is going to start on 1st May

EDIT
Or possibly not.  Appears to be two versions one suggesting 1st May and another 1st April
Details in a later post

Ah there we go then, if it doesnt change by May thats when you complain.

Looks to me they havent increased your salary to account for the new NMW though, If you are working 39.5 hours per week on the NMW of £11.44, that should be at least £23.5k based on 52 weeks.

The deductions based on a salary of £23k are, however, correct, the issue here is the salary.

Hi are you sure as you have thrown a spanner in the works here others say it is correct?

I'm baffled by your comment, my employer even told us the increase would be reflected in this month's pay and it has increased, we have been getting paid £1,600 a month in the previous months due to the NINO cut, someone said above that my pay is correct for the new tax year.  

I am confused by this, it's either my new pay is correct post NMW or it isn't?

Could someone respond.

Just for clarification -  My question is if i am correctly paid AFTER the NMW increase as this new pay amount of £1,617.75 is the first time I am receiving it.

In May your salary needs to increase to £23.5k to account for the number of hours you work and the new NMW.  They have a month to essentially get it right, as per Chrisbur's post above.

If its not right end of May, thats when you complain.

Hi,

Again, you don't seem to understand, what I am saying is that my April 2024 pay which is due to be paid today does include the National Minimum Wage increase they told us this earlier last week.  The above amount I posted of £1,617.75 a month is the NEW amount at the new £11.44p.h. rate they say I will be getting a month starting with today!

I need to clarify one final time because unfortunately, they have made an absolutely catastrophic mess with most of the workers' pay since the original payroll person left they have no idea what they are doing and are guessing what we should be paid, they do not follow what is on the timesheets, some people are getting half pay when they worked a full month plus overtime no one has had a p60, no one has had their pension contributions been paid into the scheme so they will get a fine for it. 

That's why I need ultimate proof that i can submit to them from someone here that whatever the new pay amount should be going forward, otherwise they will make up all kinds of stuff which is what they are doing any way.

Who they have doing it is not even qualified, payroll or accountant or book keeper they know nothing about this.  Some people are thinking of leaving because of the mess they have been dragging out!

They havent told you the truth then. That or they havent accounted for the correct number of hours you work.

This is simple.  Multiply £11.44 by 39.5 (the hours you work).

Then multiply the result by 52 (weeks in a year).

You can see straight away the answer is MORE than 23,000.

Someone on this thread has already done this sum for you btw.

On the new NMW you should be coming out, after tax, with around £30 more than you got in April.

Hi, People did say earlier that the new amount was correct, so thought i had the right amount paid to me starting from this month, yes my £23,000 is what it was before the NMW increase someone gave me the new amount after i asked. 

I'll have say something to them.  Thanks
