	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2024 answer text <p>All businesses – irrespective of their size or business sector – are responsible for paying the correct minimum wage to their staff. The government is clear that anyone entitled to be paid the minimum wage should receive it and takes robust enforcement action against employers who do not pay their staff correctly. HMRC enforces minimum wage regulations on behalf of DBT.</p><p>The government would urge any worker who believes they are being paid below their entitlement to contact either ACAS or HMRC directly. ACAS offer free, impartial, and confidential advice on rights and entitlements to both workers and employers. ACAS officers will pass on cases to HMRC for further consideration where appropriate. HMRC will look at every case that a worker brings to it directly.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 06/02/2024 17:58:42 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake
