Commenting on plans announced today (Wednesday) to increase the penalties for employers who flout the minimum wage from £5,000 to £20,000, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:
“The TUC has long argued that successive governments have
been soft on minimum wage dodgers.
“The plans announced today to quadruple penalties for rogue
bosses who cheat staff out of the minimum wage should make employers think
twice before illegally underpaying their staff.
“It’s great that the penalties for flouting the minimum
wage have been raised and that it’s easier to name and shame offending
employers. It’s crucial now that HMRC is given the resources they need to
enforce these new rights properly.”
