LTD company - Employee payment advise???

[everfor]

I have setup new IT consultancy LTD company, i am going to hire the employees with minimum monthly basic salary. Each employee will work with my client, and based on their revenue, i'll keep the small margin, rest of difference will be paid to employee. My question, how the difference amount will be paid to employee account.

For example,

Monthly revenue from employee 10k + vat
My commission -3k
salary to employee - 2k including NI.
After deduction of comm + salary total is 5k. --> From ltd company, is it possible to pay 5k directly to their employee personal account?

Please advise, how to represent this transaction in account? Appreciate your reply?

Are you registered as an agency, how are you going to tax your employees, insurances sorted, pension scheme, have you thought this through and what does your accountant say?

You mean pay them £5K without informing the tax man?

Yes you can do this, but you'll probably end up in jail.

Sounds like a Bob plan....

You aren't registered in the IOM by any chance.

OP posted the same thing in UK Business Forums. My answer here is the same: you pay them their "bonus/commission" as that's essentially all it is, through the payroll along with the rest of their wages.

Also, you need to ensure they are being paid NMW am regardless of what clients they are working on.

I think this one falls under the jurisdiction of Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Running a consultancy and hiring out your employees to clients is a fairly standard business model and I wouldn't have said that makes OP an agency (as in employment business which I assume is what you mean).

Only paying the "employees" for work they do might change things but if they are being paid a basic salary that meets NMW then I don't see that it matters.

Yes, you can pay £5k into their personal account.

Since they are your employee, you would record this £5k bonus on their payslip, and pay the appropriate additional tax and NI to HMRC. If you have already paid them £5k, you would pay this from your company funds.

Good luck with the new business.
