Payroll Compliance: Legal Industry

For example, where an employer requires their employee to temporarily work away from their usual workplace and sleep away from their usual home, they are entitled to three different allowances:

• fares allowance: which covers all fares to and from the temporary place of work;
• travelling time allowance: in addition to the fares allowance, the employee must also receive payment (at their ordinary rate) for the time spent travelling between their usual workplace and the temporary location;
• and board and lodging allowance: where the employee has to sleep away from their usual home, the employer must cover all the reasonable expenses incurred for board and lodging.

It’s your responsibility to pay them each and every allowance relevant to their line of work. Should you fail to do so, you could be subject to some rather harsh penalties.
