What is PAYE - Pay As You Earn?
HMRC's system for collecting income tax and National Insurance contributions directly from employee wages at each pay run, ensuring tax is paid in real time rather than as a lump sum at year end.
Why it matters in hiring
PAYE - Pay As You Earn comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
