answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2016 answer text <p>Since October 2013, HMRC has commenced 1004 investigations into National Minimum Wage (NMW) compliance that resulted in the issuing of a Notice of Underpayment (NoU). Of those:</p><p>- 165 employers were exempt from the NMW naming scheme on the basis that the total arrears were less than £100;</p><p>- 27 have made successful representations under the scheme and have not been named; and.</p><p>- 398 employers have been named under the scheme.</p><p>Employers are not named at the point when an NoU is issued. Under the National Minimum Wage regulations, employers have 28 days to appeal against an NoU. They then have a further 14 days to make representations to BIS against being named. We are currently considering the next batch of cases and expect to name more employers shortly.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 18/01/2016 17:38:03 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles
