Hi
A client got the "nudge" letter and when they rang they were told that it was likely due to them increasing the NMW in April.
I can NOT find anywhere on HMRC website that this should not have been done. All I can find is that NMW needs to be paid but with being furloughed they would only get 80% and this is allowed.
All the searches I can find keep coming back to ask ACAS, and they have nothing. CBI says "the guidance does not clarify this question".
Does anyone have any thoughts on this before I trail through all the payrolls we have done that increased NMW and do the necessary adjustments?
