<p>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><p> </p><p>Full year figures for 2014/15 are provided
in the ‘Final government evidence for the Low Pay Commission’s 2016 Report’, which
is available to view at the following address:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-minimum-wage-final-government-evidence-to-the-low-pay-commission-2016"
