Marvin OnumonuRSM UK has appointed Chris Robson as employment tax partner and national fair pay lead.
Robson, a chartered accountant and tax adviser, brings over 20 years’ experience advising employers on pay, equality and compliance.
He has held senior roles at PwC and Deloitte, specialising in areas such as national minimum wage compliance, holiday pay, gender pay gap reporting and equal pay.
Robson will lead the fair pay offering within RSM’s employer solutions practice, working with the employment legal team to deliver advice on pay compliance and employment rights.
His focus will be on supporting large and mid-market employers across sectors including retail, hospitality, health, manufacturing and logistics.
Robson said: “I’m excited to join RSM at a time when Fair Pay is under greater scrutiny than ever.
“With the launch of the Fair Work Agency now months away and enhanced worker rights as a result of the Employment Rights Bill, employers need to be confident they are compliant, have a clear remuneration strategy and systems which align to policies.
“I look forward to helping them achieve that, and to further developing RSM’s Fair Pay capability.”
Martin Cooper, partner and head of employer solutions, RSM UK, said: “Pay strategy and compliance is increasingly high on the agenda for employers.
“Our appointment of Chris, a market-leading expert on Fair Pay, reflects our commitment to providing clients with specialist advice in this critical area.
“His vast experience, relationships and ability to navigate the complexities involved in this area will strengthen our ability to support organisations as they come to terms with new legislation and the forthcoming Fair Work Agency.”
