answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2014 answer text <p>The Government is committed to increasing compliance with minimum wage legislation and effective enforcement of it. Everyone who is entitled to the minimum wage should receive it.</p><p>All 30 employers that have been named and shamed up to 8 June 2014 were issued with a Notice of Underpayment (NoU) and were still in existence when the NoU was issued.</p><p>The Department’s answer to the Hon. Member’s parliamentary question of 25 June 2014 (Official Report, column 246W) sets out the months that the NoU were issued. HMRC do not record the time between the date of each underpayment and the issue of the Notice of Underpayment. HMRC can pursue arrears claims for workers going back up to six years and therefore a worker may complain up to six years after the time they think they were underpaid. Additionally, investigations following a complaint may identify further underpaid workers or other periods of underpayment going back several years.</p><p>All of the employers who were named and shamed paid the arrears due to workers and also the financial penalty imposed.</p> answering member constituency East Dunbartonshire answering member printed Jo Swinson question first answered 05/09/2014 13:43:47 answering member 1513 label Biography information for Jo Swinson
