£5000 Fine for Paying Less Than Minimum Wage!
As from 6 April, there is a new penalty for employers who pay
workers below the national minimum wage and a new method of working
out arrears owing to those employees.
Employers who do not pay the minimum wage could be faced with
an automatic fine of up to £5,000, while serious offenders could
receive an unlimited fine.
HM Revenue and Customs compliance officers get extra powers
to carry out their investigations into breaches of the law on
the national minimum wage.
The new method of calculating arrears means that employers
have to pay any past wages owing to underpaid workers at the current
minimum wage rates, not the rates when the workers were underpaid,
if these are higher.
Any employer who underpays after 6 April 2009 will also be
subject to a fine of 50 per cent of the total amount underpaid;
the fine has a minimum level of £100 and a maximum of £5,000.
So the the Act also gives HMRC compliance officer's new
inspection powers and strengthens the criminal regime for national
minimum wage offences. Further details HERE: http://www.berr.gov.uk/whatwedo/employment/pay/national-minimum-wage/page44848.html
