Caution is required when analysing Minimum Wage enforcement by geography. Enforcement data is reported based on employers\u2019 details, not workers\u2019. This means HMRC may identify arrears for workers who live outside of the immediate area where their employer is based. Similarly, for large employers, arrears and penalties may be attributed to a specific head office location.<\/p>"}

The Government is clear that anyone entitled to be paid the National Minimum Wage (NMW) or National Living Wage (NLW) should receive it. We are committed to cracking down on employers who fail to pay the NMW/NLW.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is important to ensure that all working time is considered for minimum wage purposes. Employers are responsible for recognising and recording all working time for their workers. However, not all time constitutes working time. Government guidance entitled Calculating the Minimum Wage provides further information.<\/p>
<\/p>
A work trial that it is for recruitment purposes and that it is reasonable and not of excessive duration would probably not constitute \u201cwork\u201d under a worker\u2019s contract. An unpaid trial lasting more than one day is probably illegal in all but exceptional circumstances and would therefore entitle the individual to be paid at least the minimum wage.<\/p>"}
