News and Developments - National minimum wage crack team

Wednesday 27 January 2010

HMRC has appointed a new Dynamic Response Team to tackle the most high profile and complicated cases of non-compliance with the national minimum wage particularly in areas where employers are using migrant labour to undercut competitors by paying below the minimum wage.
The team is funded from a £70 million Government fund, paid for by a levy on migrant workers, to support those communities that are feeling the impact of migration most strongly.
The team will be made-up of highly-trained specialist officers who are committed to providing a rapid response to cases across the UK ensuring that everyone who is entitled to the minimum wage receives it.
