WinTA payroll technology calculates paid and unpaid breaks

The new minimum wage rates come in as Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Business Department published their national minimum wage annual report for 2009/10, which showed inspectors retrieved more than £4.4 million in arrears for more than 19,000 workers. The average arrears per worker was £228, some 18 per cent higher than the previous year. Headquarters of HMRC is now at Whitehall, in 100 Parliament Street, Westminster. To enforce the law HMRC has a network of 16 teams of national minimum wage compliance officers.

Time and Attendance South East smart card clocking and payroll technology can deal with multiple wage patterns. Overtime is easily monitored, and both paid and unpaid breaks are easy to define and calculate. Information on up to 1000 production or department jobs can be stored by the time and attendance software. With the simple use of a contactless smart card or key fob, employees book time against these jobs to produce a fully costed analysis and break down of time spent on each one.
