<p>Workers who ordinarily work in the UK are entitled to minimum wage for all of their
work, including, for example, for work on ships located outside the UK servicing offshore
installations. Furthermore, workers on UK registered ships are entitled to minimum
wage for all their work on the ship wherever it is located, unless they work entirely
outside the UK or are not ordinarily resident in the UK.</p><p> </p><p>This Government
takes minimum wage enforcement seriously and is committed to ensuring all employers
pay their workers correctly. We continue to invest heavily in minimum wage enforcement,
increasing the budget to over £25 million for 2018/19, up from £13 million in 2015/16.
In addition to following up on every worker complaint received, HMRC undertake proactive
investigations and conduct awareness raising activities amongst both employers and
workers.</p><p> </p><p>Last year, HMRC identified record arrears of £15.6 million,
for over 200,000 workers.</p>
