answer text

HMRC enforces the UK NMW and national living wage in line with the legislative framework owned by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). HMRC don’t hesitate to use their powers if they suspect a business isn’t paying their workers at least the correct rate of National Minimum Wage. HMRC deploy resource across all sectors proportionate to the level of risk. Since the UK NMW changes for the maritime sector in October 2020, HMRC have worked with the domestic maritime sector and unions to ensure obligations and worker rights are understood and are being complied with. HMRC wrote to employers in the Maritime sector asking them to check that they are paying all their workers the correct minimum wage. HMRC have produced multi-lingual leaflets for seafarers regarding their entitlement and routes of redress and these have been distributed via the RMT and Nautilus International unions. HMRC also provided an article on seafarer minimum wage entitlement published on Nautilus International website encouraging seafarers to make a complaint if they are not receiving National Minimum Wage. Anyone who thinks they are not being paid what they are entitled to can complain online at <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fminimum-wage-complaint&data=05%7C01%7Cann.elbeck%40hmrc.gov.uk%7C96891566c2a14897bf3f08dbb8e70239%7Cac52f73cfd1a4a9a8e7a4a248f3139e1%7C0%7C0%7C638307074532312360%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=aGR3DITH5trPZ2bkQTXF0PMDBddW3r2oih9De8NcK20%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/minimum-wage-complaint</a> or can contact ACAS, on 0300 123 1100.
