Within the employee record being able to choose HMRC's list of hourly bands:
The current hourly bands to use are:
A Less than 16 hours
B 16 hours or more, but less than 24 hours
C 24 hours or more, but less than 30 hours
D 30 hours or more
E Other
'E Other' should only be used, for example, for workers on zero hour contracts, no set hours or pensioners being paid a company retirement pension or annuity.
It is important to record the correct number of hours your employee has worked to help ensure they receive the right amount of benefits and tax credits they are entitled to.
Employers are required to indicate into which HMRC pre-determined list of hourly bands each employee's normal working week falls.
This reports to HMRC the number of weekly contracted hours the employee is contracted to work, as opposed to the actual hours worked per week. Thus, this field should not require amendment unless there is an amendment to the employee's contract.
I know the option is there for hours worked per week, but we have many clients with employees who do not work set hours and for that instance, the hours worked per week does not work for RTI purposes.
