The Government will name all employers that do not comply with National Minimum Wage regulations unless they meet one of the exceptional circumstances or have arrears of £100 or less.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has named 92 employers, including a care provider. Between them they owed workers a total of over £316,000 in arrears and have been charged financial penalties totalling over £111,000.<\/p>
<\/p>
Social care cases tend to be more complex than other cases so it can take longer for them to progress through the enforcement and naming process. We will continue to name and shame employers, including those operating in the care sector.<\/p>
<\/p>
Her Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) are undertaking targeted enforcement work in the care sector, building on previous work that successfully identified non-compliant businesses. Between 2011 and 2013, HMRC investigated 224 employers in the care sector. Just over half of these were found to be non-compliant \u2013 between them owing £1,319,729 arrears of pay to 6,550 workers, with penalties issued with a total value of £146,931. There are 94 investigations currently underway in the care sector.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition to this enforcement activity, we continue to do other work to improve minimum wage compliance in the care sector \u2013 to provide guidance to employers so that they understand the law, including tips about the most common mistakes and the records they need to keep to prove they are paying their staff correctly. We also encourage and support care sector workers who have been underpaid to make a complaint, using the free and confidential Pay and Work Rights Helpline. Any worker who is concerned that they have not received what they are entitled to should call the helpline on 0800 917 2368. HMRC follow up every complaint.<\/p>

This is clearly a very worrying time for those who were reliant on City Link for work, including its subcontractors.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Any subcontractor with invoices unpaid by City Link will rank as an unsecured creditor and should send details of their claim to the administrator. The administrator has also been providing information to creditors to advise them on what they need to do to notify their claims to him.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Employees employed directly by City Link and those sub-contracted to them are eligible for consideration of Rapid Response Service support.<\/p>

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills ran a formal consultation on the Product Safety and Market Surveillance Package from 10 July 2013 to 4 September 2013. Details of the Consultation can be found on the following link to the Gov.UK website:<\/p>
<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/product-safety-and-market-surveillance-package-proposal-for-new-european-regulations<\/a><\/p> <\/p>
In response to the specific question about country of origin marking contained in the Consultation paper we received responses from a wide range of stakeholders including 25 trade associations, but only 2 of these indicated to us that they agreed with the proposed mandatory requirements for all consumer products to bear indication of origin marking<\/p>
<\/p>
I would of course welcome any evidence Steelite International may have on the cost benefits of mandatory country of origin marking for consumer products and I will ask my officials to meet them to discuss this.<\/p>
