Minimum Wage Rate Change Check

Compare anonymized pay records with HR-supplied effective rates and flag records for payroll review.

What to provide

Anonymized worker categories, effective dates, eligible-hours definition and current rates approved by payroll.

Workflow

1. Match each record to the supplied category and effective date.
2. Compute pay per eligible hour using the approved definition.
3. Compare it with the supplied applicable rate.
4. Return candidate shortfalls without changing payroll or giving a legal verdict.

Output contract

Record | effective date | eligible hours | pay | supplied rate | difference

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional rule only: applicable rate 12.00 per hour, 40 eligible hours and 460 pay. Expected minimum under the supplied rule is 480; candidate difference is 20.00.

Review gates and limits

The fictional 12.00 rate is not a statement of UK law. Payroll must verify current age bands, deductions, hours and exemptions.
