Helen Livesey, senior manager at specialist recruiter Hays Payroll Management, has noted an increase in the number of staff taking on additional payroll staff as the implementation of HM Revenue & Custom’s (HMRC’s) new Real Time Information (RTI) initiative draws nearer. RTI is a new system designed to reduce errors in the tax system by ensuring that HMRC and the Department of Work and Pensions have up-to-date information about employees’ incomes.
