This increases the employee's taxable and NIable pay, meaning they pay tax or NI on the value of this payment. Post Your software adds the value of this after calculating tax and NI. Another term for this is post-tax or NI. This means the employee doesn't pay tax or NI on this payment. For instance, this can be useful to reimburse expenses the employee paid for with their own money.
