Can I pay NIC gaps for my employee?

My employee has NIC gaps in the past 2 years. As a director of a limited company, can I pay the NIC gaps for my employee? If yes, can I use the "employment allowance" to pay the NIC gaps for my employee? Thank you for your support.

Hi,
If the employee does not earn above the lower earnings limit through employment to obtain a qualifying Class 1 NICs then they can ask about paying voluntary Class 3 NICs.
More information on whether paying Voluntary NICs can be seen here:

Thank you.
