NMWM09190 | Pay reference periods and elements of pay: incentive pay

From HM Revenue & Customs · National Minimum Wage Manual

Payments labelled “incentive pay” might be a performance bonus (NMWM09140) or an allowance (NMWM09090). It is therefore important to establish the true nature of the payment before the effect on National Minimum Wage pay can be determined.
