If a company were to allow it's team members one paid volunteering day per year, would that day be classed as working hours for national minimum wage purposes? E.g. for one day a year, the team member is able to volunteer for a registered charity of their choice & receives full pay for their normal scheduled hours. If the volunteered hours are less than the TM's normal scheduled day, they still receive full pay. If the hours volunteered are more than the normal scheduled day, the TM still only receives pay based on their normal scheduled hours for that day.

Hi, if a company were to allow team members to buy additional holiday (e.g. max 3 days) and the cost of the holiday was recovered from the team member over a maximum of 2 or 3 payroll periods, would that impact on the national minimum wage calculation?
