UK payroll must be advised for cessation of member’s car allowance upon effect of income protection to avoid _____________.
- A.
Error
- B.
Underpayment
- C.
Overpayment
Correct Answer
C. OverpaymentExplanation
When an employee's income protection takes effect, it means that they are no longer able to work due to illness or injury and are receiving a portion of their income as compensation. In this situation, if the employee's car allowance is not ceased or stopped, there is a risk of overpayment. This is because the employee is no longer working and therefore should not be receiving the car allowance. Advising the UK payroll about the cessation of the car allowance ensures that the employee does not receive any unnecessary payments, preventing any potential overpayment.Rate this question:
