Hello, I believed all salary sacrifice agreements would reduce earnings when completing NMW checks. However, I have recently started a new job where a NMW check is completed on the payrolls each month . In this check, the salary sacrifice childcare vouchers (the legacy agreement) is not considered and the notes for completing the check states that as these are legacy childcare vouchers, they do not need to be considered. However, as all salary sacrifice agreements reduce contractual pay, I would have assumed that these childcare vouchers do reduce salary for NMW purposes. Can you please confirm?
