Internships and the National Minimum Wage new live webinars
Are your clients accidentally underpaying their workers? Join a HMRC webinar to find out more. Many employers think 'interns' can work for free, but in the majority of cases they are workers for National Minimum Wage (NMW) purposes. That’s exactly why so many businesses unintentionally fall short, even when they think they’re doing everything right. HMRC’s NMW team are delivering brand-new live webinars this week looking at internships and the NMW. You’ll learn:
- How to determine whether an intern is a worker for NMW purposes,
- Scenarios and common pitfalls that could be affecting your payroll right now, and
- What to do if an underpayment occurs.
Plus, get your burning questions answered live. HMRC’s expert panel will be on hand to answer questions. Whether you’re an employer wanting to stay compliant or an accountant advising clients, these sessions will give you the confidence and knowledge to navigate NMW requirements with more certainty. Secure your spot now, because getting it right the first time is always better than fixing it later.
