This is to allow workers to identify any under recording of hours worked, and to encourage them to either raise this with their employer or make a free, confidential complaint to Acas.

However, the majority of these are corrected by the company immediately when informed. The enforcement policy of Companies House is to help companies comply with their filing requirements, rather than immediately resorting to criminal or civil sanction. This is particularly important where there is reasonably new requirement such as the requirement to register beneficial ownership.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 23/02/2018 14:33:39 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths
