The Government is determined that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum Wage (NMW) receives it. Anyone who feels they have been underpaid NMW should contact the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) review all complaints that are referred to them.<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-minimum-wage-final-government-evidence-to-the-low-pay-commission-2016<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The Government is committed to cracking down on employers who break NMW law. Between April 2015 and November 2015, HMRC took action against over 500 businesses, identifying over £8 million for 46,000 workers. This is already the largest amount of arrears identified in any single year since the introduction of the NMW.<\/p>"}
