If someone got �60.93 for a days work what would there take home pay be after they paid tax? Not sure how to work it out. (I have to but it through on my time sheet and then pay them in cash)

Their take home pay I mean,not there
If your boss is asking you to do this, then decline.
The implication is that your pay as reported to HMRC is going to be inflated by �60.93 gross. And you are paying this other employee.
One wonders why your boss can't just pay the person as a casual staff member - or put him properly onto the books.

You saying no to my boss!!!

try i mean
I can imagine exactly why.

Wouldn't be foreign this other worker would he?

Sounds to me that your boss is involving you in a criminal conspiracy

Just easier to say yes and cant afford to upset the boss. Does anyone know the answer?
about �52.78 by my reckoning...


But agree it sounds well dodgy.

I wouldn't do it for my boss!
It is a offence for an employer to employ a foreign worker who is not entitled to work in the UK. This was done to prevent asylum seekers (and indeed illegals generally) who are having their cases considered from working.
You will be become an accessory.
Chuck - your answer is not a straight basic-rate-tax-deducted proportion of �60.93? - which would be �48.74.
I assume that you have factored in a proportion of personal allowance?
Lukey would get deducted tax of �12.19.
Then there is employee's NI of 11% to take into account - another �6.70 - because Lukey will presumably be earning between the NI thresholds.
Its messy and illegal - as I said above - just don't do it.
Yeah I did take into account a personal allowance, probably a very slightly high one too.... but that aside.... think we are all in agreement...... Don't do it!
