We have a 10% 50/50 clause and I normally calculate extra payments due and pay within 14 days as per our contract, however, my husband's last pay included overtime and back pay. Back pay is not included and we are allowed to keep the whole of this. I e-mailed GT over a week ago to ask them to calculate the extra payment due from the overtime, and I haven't even received an acknowledgement to my e-mail. Not sure how to calculate & payment due within 14 days of pay day, which was yesterday???
Can't you simply deduct the back pay and then work on the balance remaining? If you use the website www.listentotaxman.co.uk you could input the net sum after the back pay, and if will calculate tax an NIC for you, leaving you with a net sum on which to base your calculations.
I would be grateful if you would forward a copy of the email to me at ivacustomerservices@uk.gt.com quoting "IVA Forum" in the subject line and I will arrange for a member of the review team to respond accordingly.
Morning Karol, thank you, I will forward my e-mail as requested.
Thank you for the advice Melanie. Not sure that deducting the backpay figure from the net wage will give an accurate calculation as tax, NI and pension has been deducted from the backpay as well as the overtime, or maybe I'm trying to make it more complicated than it is.....
If you speak to your HR dept, they should be able to tell you what the net effect of your backpay is and then you can just deduct that from your net wage before you work out the 50% of the rest you need to pay across, or just use listentotaxman as Mel has suggested I use that a lot and it works it out for you
Thanks lem, speaking to HR easier said than done - anything regarding wages and my husband has to communicate with them via his line manager, who would probably want to know the reason for his enquiry......so for obvious reasons would not want to involve him
