Our Employment Solutions specialists provide practical, commercially focused advice, helping employers to manage their obligations with confidence and clarity.
Services for employers
Our Employment Solutions team is comprised of experienced specialists who tailor advice across a range of key areas. We support businesses in managing their compliance obligations, mitigating risk and optimising workforce reward strategies. We are practiced in delivering expert advice across areas including UK employment tax, global mobility issues, and equity incentives.
Key areas of support
Employment tax compliance and reporting
Employment tax reporting requirements are complex and continually evolving.
Our team supports businesses in understanding and meeting their obligations, including benefits reporting through P11D forms and PAYE Settlement Agreements, as well as implementing robust processes and controls around these areas.
Benefits in kind and payrolling
The taxation of employee benefits is evolving, with mandatory payrolling coming into effect from 6 April 2027. We support organisations in communicating these changes clearly to employees and implementing the processes needed for a smooth and effective transition.
Reward structuring and remuneration planning
Designing tax-efficient remuneration packages is key to attracting and retaining talent. We advise on salary sacrifice arrangements, benefits packages and broader reward strategies, balancing tax efficiency with commercial objectives while ensuring compliance with current legislation.
Share plans and employee incentives
Equity-based rewards are a valuable way to motivate employees and align their interests with business performance. We support the design, implementation and ongoing management of share plans and other incentive arrangements, ensuring they are tax-efficient, compliant and aligned with corporate strategy.
Off-payroll working
Legislation and HMRC guidance on off‑payroll working and labour supply chains require robust compliance processes and procedures. Our team supports businesses in assessing their workforce arrangements, implementing appropriate controls and managing risk. We also provide practical support on employment status for tax purposes, in relation to making status determinations for direct engagements and where the “IR35” rules apply.
National Minimum Wage (NMW) compliance
Compliance with NMW regulations goes beyond basic hourly rates and can involve complex issues such as working time, deductions and salary sacrifice arrangements. Our team carries out detailed reviews to identify risks, strengthen processes and support businesses in preparing for or responding to HMRC reviews.
Termination payments
The tax treatment of termination payments is complex and often misunderstood. We advise on structuring packages to achieve tax efficiency while remaining compliant with legislation, working closely with HR and legal teams to deliver the desired commercial outcomes.
HMRC enquiries and risk management
HMRC is increasingly focused on employment tax compliance, using targeted, data-driven approaches to identify risk. Our team supports clients at every stage of HMRC interactions, from proactive risk reviews and voluntary disclosures to managing full enquiries, helping to minimise financial and reputational impact.
Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
The CIS rules are complex and can apply more widely than expected, creating compliance risks for many businesses. We can advise on whether CIS applies, support with registration and reporting obligations, and help ensure correct operation of the scheme to avoid penalties.
