HR teams risk breaching minimum wage in salary sacrifice EV schemes

Salary sacrifice EV schemes live or die on eligibility rules, and most HR teams still guess at the edge cases rather than checking them. Loveelectric's new guidance tackles the awkward ones: minimum earnings thresholds against national minimum wage, and whether zero-hours or variable-pay staff can join at all - a question that trips up plenty of schemes built around a standard nine-to-five payroll model (Loveelectric). Get this wrong and you either exclude staff who'd benefit most from BIK savings, or breach minimum wage rules by sacrificing someone below the floor. Worth a policy review before your next scheme renewal, particularly if your workforce includes shift or casual workers.
