I would say £750 the reference salary if paid that rate from April to October.
If paid only in April and May, then who knows!! It would appear that they fall under the variable pay banner (but in the guidance so far it says "employed after 20th March) so it's obviously expecting this section to relate to new starters only and not those who simply had RTI filed after the 19/3 RTI cutoff date. Wonder if it will be "the higher of" scenario again.
CJRS1 seems a long time ago now. To check, someone who was employed, fixed salary, but was still working so didn't claim, will be classed as an eligible employee for CJRS1? So their reference salary will be February 2020 rather than the new updated reference dates. They had a pay rise in September, so assume this won't be taken into account?
I've been trying to understand zero hours calculations too. Seems to be based on the same higher of 2019-20 average or this time last year like before. Not tried to work through an example yet though.
What's the definition of a 'pay reference period' please? We were advised a couple.of years ago that we should pay at the old rate, but just wanted to check this is correct. Thanks
We have an hourly paid payroll paid in arrears on 5th of each month, so hours worked March will be paid on 5th April, should this be at the new or old rate?
