HMRC has issued a warning to anyone working this Christmas, urging festive workers on short-term contracts to verify their pay and ensure they're not missing out on the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage. Seasonal staff and students are legally entitled to receive at least the minimum rates applicable to other workers. This is a crucial reminder for holiday employees to advocate for their rights and confirm their earnings.
In addition to verifying hourly rates, HMRC highlights the importance of looking out for unpaid working time, which can include tasks like cleaning, closing premises, or undergoing training. Such unpaid work could lead employees to earn less than the National Minimum Wage, which is a pressing concern for seasonal workers during this busy period.
