Payment to delay employment start date - compensation or earnings?

Payment to delay employment start date -...

Didn't find your answer?

Hi I have a query and am having trouble seeing how it should be taxed.

A client took on employee X, however due to financial difficulties delayed the start date by 6 months. Is this payment taxable as a golden hello or would it be classed as compensation. I fear it is taxable as earnings but just wanted to check :(
