An unpaid trial work period lasting a few hours may be reasonable and legal. This is because the main purpose would be to test the individual, and what is done would probably have little or no other value to the employer. However, an unpaid trial lasting more than one day is probably illegal in all but exceptional circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>DBT does not hold information about the number of people who have undertaken unpaid trial shifts in England, Wales and Scotland in each of the last five years.</p><p> </p><p>If someone has undertaken an unpaid work trial and thinks they should have been paid NMW, they can call the ACAS helpline or make a complaint to HMRC.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 04/12/2023 17:12:31 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
