When Employees Pay Less than the NIC
Arrangements for pension-related salary sacrifice have become common over the years. They benefit employers and employees alike; however, certain measures should be taken into account when making the arrangements for protection.
Bonus or salary sacrifice arrangements changed in April 2017. However, arrangements related to pensions and related advice, cycle-to-work and childcare under employer support were exempt from the changes.
This course covers salary sacrifices associated with pension contributions.
Firstly, we define the term salary sacrifice and illustrate how it works. The course states various tax-exempted benefits that can also be used with the arrangement.
Next, it explains in detail how salary sacrifice can benefit both employers and employees. It also covers how the arrangement can impact other employee benefits.
