Salary Sacrifice(pension contributions) and NMW
For 6 years I have been paying into a pension scheme. The employer took all this time the contributions before tax. However, since June 2023 the contributions have been taken after tax. The explanation from the employer was that they have to do this because otherwise I come below the National Minimum Wage. At least the 2 previous pay periods where the pay was almost exactly the same the contributions were taken before tax. I raised this that before I was being paid below the National Minimum Wage but there is a response that all was correct and not been paid below the National Minimum Wage. So I would like to know if I was paid below the National Minium Wage.
