<p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>From 26 May 2015, the maximum penalty for underpayment
of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) increased from £20,000 per notice of underpayment
(NoU) to £20,000 per worker.</p><p> </p><p>From 1 April 2016 the penalty has been
increased to 200% of the total underpayment for all of the workers specified in a
NoU. By increasing penalties for underpayment of the NMW it is intended that employers,
who could otherwise be tempted to underpay, comply with the law and working people
receive the money they are legally due. The maximum penalty will remain at £20,000
per worker.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p>
