RTI?

Post by Smoothbackground »

What does the acronym RTI stand for? Is it something to do with being a reserve? Thanks!

So did I! But 15 of us can’t all be RTIs in that sense of the word! Searching the forum found references to it perhaps being a reserve cover, but I’m intrigued to know what the abbreviation is shorthand for in this context?

Any more context? If not, and as a wild guess, is it for employer tax reporting? ...
In April 2012 HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) began the phased introduction of Real Time Information (RTI). The Income Tax (Pay As You Earn) Regulations 2003 (PAYE Regulations) were amended to reflect reporting in real time. Under RTI, information about tax and other deductions under the PAYE system is transmitted to HMRC by the employer every time an employee is paid. Employers using RTI are no longer required to provide information to HMRC using Forms P35 and P14 after the end of the tax year, or to send Forms P45 or P46 to HMRC when employees start or leave a job. Since April 2014 all employers have been required to report in real time with 1.9 million schemes covering 48 million employees now reporting through.

I’m sure it’s not that either. So on the weekly duty roster it has the acronym RD for our rest days, but for the five days we are rostered to work it has the acronym RTI. Searching the forum for RTI does bring up quite a few occurrences of the acronym - but not the longhand form.

Some examples of use in context (taken from other threads on the forum):
The worst that would probably happen is having to go back RTI if there is not a repick.
Sometimes though they used to load the blokes up that were on RTI duty but not let them claim the money.
so for 1 day every week i am on rti.

Yep.

Always been told it means report to inspector. Just means, as a reserve, they haven’t allocated you a duty for the week and a manager will tell you what you are doing at a later time, maybe even on a day to day basis.
