<p>The table gives information on the number of Referral Notices received by the Civil
Penalty Compliance Team from July 2014-June 2015 for all workers. Some Referral Notices
will include more than one worker and an employer may receive more than one Referral
Notice during a 12 month period. The table also shows the number of penalties that
were served on employers for employing an illegal worker from July 2014-June 2015.

a Civil Penalty being issued until the following month.</p><p>The table provides the
number of workers for whom employers have received a penalty of either £20,000 or
£15,000 in each of the last 12 months. In addition to the table, 1450 employers have
