Use advanced clocking system to avoid fines for breaking employment law

The penalties for companies which do not comply with rules on the national minimum wage, enforced by HMRC (Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs), are severe. As from April 2009, if HMRC finds you have underpaid the national minimum wage it will issue a notice of underpayment. This will show the arrears you must pay to your workers and the penalty you must pay to HMRC. The penalty is 50 per cent of the total underpayment that has occurred from April 6, 2009. There is a minimum penalty of £100 and a maximum of £5,000. If you pay the arrears and the penalty within 14 days of the date on which the notice of underpayment is served, you only need to pay half of the penalty.

Our contactless smart cards have the fastest secure throughput in time and attendance clocking. Additional features are available, which can be implemented on your time and attendance system to take into account diversity with working rules between different organisations, for example Shift Swapping. Here employees may have their shift for a particular day changed in advance.
