part time work but high salary?

[seasky]

If someone works part time (say a day a week) but is paid highly for that (say £1000 which is above the min wage for a full time position) is it considered part time or full time?

Your hourly rate does not determine your employment status as full time or part time, the hours you work determine that.
You are a part time employee if you are working 1 day a week, no matter if you are paid min wage per hour or £1000 per hour !

In other post you said:

"(Total pay in a whole year ) / 52 weeks = XX, Divide XX by 30 hours per week = Hourly rate
The min wage hourly rate for year April 2015-16 must be at least £6.70 per hour for employees above 25 years of age."

What if said worker worked 40 hrs per week (hourly rate could be under min wage but by using 30 as determining number, wall s/he is not)

And by that calculation one could work less than 30 but since high salary would be OK

(in 0ther words do they ask anywhere how many hours employee worked?)

My answer in the other thread was based on what the OP said. His employee was working 30 hours a week. There is no official way to check how many hours someone worked in a week but I guess no one will work for 40 hours a week getting below min wage !

They used to ask in previous forms, now they don't. My guess is that if you claim something as full time, they assume 30 hours a week.

Hiring someone below min wage is not legal and one cant claim points fot it. I believe no of hours matter; not the wage rate.

However, it's difficult to prove the number of hours worked but easy to show wages paid.

Easy to prove hours if employees are either:.
completely made up/imaginary
OR
in on the conspiracy to fabricate a complete history

OR else:
2) actually exist and are paid, as per job contract, for hours worked with tax/NI obligations duly met and filed.

Yes that's exactly what I meant, wage slips, FPS, RTI, income tax and NI etc paid to employees are easier to show. Home office will take your word for the total hours worked to calculate the hourly rate. Obviously, home office can just call employees and confirm hourly rate and hours worked, but unfortunately they don't.
